Mareen Kruckeberg first opened the Garden to the public for a plant sale on Mother's Day weekend in 1987. Over the past 25 years the MsK Nursery, the Garden, and their founders Art and Mareen Kruckeberg have influenced thousands of lives and gardens. In honor of our 25th annual Mother's Day Plant Sale next week, we've been collecting stories about these colorful characters, the Sale, and the Nursery. We'll have them on display at the Sale, May 11-13. Read on to enjoy a selection of these stories!
