The Logan County Garden Club has been keeping busy lately with its Surplus Plant Sale held May 3. The organization had a great turnout for the plant sale that was held on the steps of BB&T Bank in Russellville.

The club raised money to use toward the beautification of the Historic Bibb House grounds.

The Garden Club holds its regular meetings on the fourth Monday at 6:30 p.m. each month at the Bibb House, unless special events are scheduled. The club invites everyone who is interested to attend. Rather an avid Gardner or a novice gardener you are welcome.

The next meeting will be held May 19 at the home of Dr. Jon and Alyssa Todd in Quality. The program will be care and dividing a Hosta.

The May gardening tip is plant marigolds at the end of vegetable rows to help deter pests. Use shaded areas in the garden to plant beets, parsnips, leeks, cabbage, turnips and lettuce.

The June 14 meeting will be the 10th annual Garden Tour and Tea held during the Walking Tour in Historic Russellville beginning at the Bibb House on Eighth and Winter Streets. Time will be from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tickets are $9 for the tour and $18 for the tour and tea.

Other special events will be held that day as well including a Flag Day service, trolley rides, museum, gardens and church tours, gardening seminars, a silent action and artists display.

The Victorian tea will be held at the Bibb House court yard from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. with nationally known author, Linda Hawkins providing book signing.
