Spring plant sale planned for downtown Water Street Saturday
A plant sale featuring hanging flower baskets, containers, flats and mixed pots will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 24, at Foyo Plaza on Water Street in downtown Naperville.
We Grow Dreams in West Chicago, a professional nonprofit nursery and greenhouse that trains and employs young adults with disabilities, is providing the plants, a new release said. Nursery employees do a variety of tasks, from planting and transplanting to assisting customers, running the cash register, and completing clerical and maintenance tasks.
The upcoming plant sale is way for the community to support their cause while completing their spring gardening projects, said Nick Ryan, executive chairman with Marquette Cos., which developed Water Street.
“Everything from We Grow Dreams is high quality and beautiful, and each plant is grown with love,” Ryan said in the release.
