Sept. 30, 2011 - PRLog -- (Ticonderoga, NY) The Annual Plant Sale and Harvest Market in the King’s Garden celebrating the autumn season will take place on Saturday, October 1, from 10am to 4pm.  The popular plant sale offers a variety of perennials from the historic gardens.  This is a fantastic opportunity to cultivate a living piece of history in your home garden!  Staff and volunteers will be available to answer questions and dig visitor’s selections.  All are encouraged to bring their own bags, boxes or bins.  

A cornucopia of vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers are also featured for sale.  Favorite recipes using King’s Garden vegetables will be shared by garden volunteers.  Pumpkins and other locally grown items will also be offered by neighboring farms.  Family activities include watercolor painting and a fall leaf hunt that explores the trees found on the garden grounds.  The Heroic Corn Maze Adventure is another fall favorite for all ages. This six-acre puzzle uses clues about the Fort’s history to help visitors solve the maze in a field of corn adjacent to the King’s Garden.  Tickets and information is available at the Log House admissions area.
