The annual Poppy Push Plant Sale and fundraiser for McCrae House will once again feature varieties of poppies for sale as well as perennials from the historic gardens.
The event will take place, rain or shine, on May 1 from 8:30am to 1pm.
Poppy varieties available at the sale include Oriental and Allegro perennials and, of course, the Flanders corn poppy.
Perennials from the historic garden will also be available for purchase. Talk with knowledgeable garden volunteers and learn about the McCrae House historic gardens that are filled with plant varieties found in Guelph from 1850 to 1880.
Admission to McCrae House is free with the purchase of two or more plants.
At 11am, visitors are invited to attend the opening of the new exhibition, Life in the Trenches. Along with photographs and a private collection of trench art, the exhibit includes objects that were excavated in 2007 by volunteer archaeologists known as Diggers. McCrae House is located at 108 Water Street. For more information please call 519-836-1221 or visit guelph.ca/museum.
