Bethany Lutheran Church

Batavia, IL — Batavia Plain Dirt Gardeners will hold their annual Plant Sale on Saturday, May 11th from 9 a.m. to noon in the Bethany Lutheran Church gymnasium. Most plants are sourced from members’ gardens and include natives, perennials, shrubs, and trees. Get tips from experts&nbsp;on selecting and growing the plants in your garden.
Each year, this sale raises funds for the club’s activities, including college scholarships, maintaining the Wildflower Sanctuary at the Batavia Riverwalk, the Kaleidoscope Planter and Peace Bridge Planters near City Hall, and the Alphabet Garden at the Batavia Public Library.
 In 1991, a group of volunteers began to transform a wooded area along the Batavia Riverwalk that later became known as the Batavia Wildflower Sanctuary. These gardeners went on to form the Batavia Plain Dirt Gardeners – a group that is dedicated to supporting and maintaining the Wildflower Sanctuary and other community projects while cultivating friendships and the love of gardening among experienced and novice gardeners. 
The club is open to all persons interested in gardening. For more information, see our website at bataviaplaindirtgardeners.org, or contact us at <a href="mailto:bataviaplaindirtgardeners@gmail.com">bataviaplaindirtgardeners@gmail.com</a>
