No grower can guarantee their plants are pest or disease free, as exposure can happen at any time, anywhere. Try to keep new plants in a plant-free room (like a bathroom) if possible, for at least two weeks before moving them elsewhere in your home.
The event will be held under a tented area, outside at the Watertown Free Public Library. The event is rain or shine.
