Mountainside's Hetfield House Hosts Plant & Geranium Sale

The Mountainside Historical Committee’s annual geranium plant sale is set for May 2-5 at the Deacon Andrew Hetfield House from 9 am to 4 pm each day.  This popular event is a harbinger of spring and looked forward to by local gardeners.  Proceeds go to support the fund raising efforts of the Mountainside Restoration Committee including their current campaign to move and save the historic Levi Cory house.

“This year we will have a variety of colors to satisfy every taste,” said Ruth Goense, Historic Restoration Committee member, and plant sale organizer.  “We will also have a selection of hanging plants and some smaller flowering plants. There’ll be something for everyone.”  Each and  every plant is hand-picked by the Committee’s garden experts who visit the grower and select only the best plants for this sale.

The Deacon Andrew Hetfield House is located at Constitution Plaza (Watchung Ave., off Birch Hill Rd.) adjacent to the Mountainside Library.  The Mountainside Restoration Committee is a committee of volunteers governed by the Borough of Mountainside whose purpose is to maintain the Deacon Andrew Hetfield House and collect and save historic information and items from destruction.  For further information, please call (908)789-9420; or, go to:  www.mountainsidehistory.org
