POULSBO — The Poulsbo Garden Club had a very busy and successful spring season.

Most recently, the club awarded eight grants to North Kitsap organizations for their gardening projects. The grants ranged from $230 to $500, with a total of $3,000 being gifted.

This year’s winners: Kingston Middle School Horticulture Club, Buck Lake Native Plants Garden, Sons of Norway Lodge, Raab Park P-Patch, Martha & Mary’s Therapy Gardens, North Kitsap Fishline Gardens, Raab Park Youth Garden, and the Poulsbo Fire House Garden.

Since 2003, the club has awarded more than $22,000 to local groups for their gardening projects.

The club’s annual plant sale is scheduled 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on May 2 — the first Saturday of May —  at James Lumber Ace Hardware, 19801 Viking Ave. in Poulsbo.   Under sunny or rainy skies, plant lovers and gardeners from around area will find the open lot filled with a wide variety of plants and at reasonable prices. Proceeds fund the club’s grants program.

The Poulsbo Garden Club meets from 9:30 a.m. to noon on the second Saturday of each month from September to April in the lower level of the Poulsbo Library.  Meetings feature a wide variety of activities, from making Christmas wreaths to constructing tea-cup bird feeders and other garden art. The March meeting featured Karen Chapman, author of “Fine Foliage,” and a raffle of two container gardens she assembled during her talk. On April 11, Constance Gooding will give a presentation on “Gardens in England.”

The club also participates in community gardening efforts helping to maintain the Poulsbo Library grounds and the November daffodil planting sponsored by the city.
