The Edgecomb Thrift Shop's eighth annual iris sale at the Edgecomb Congregational Church on Cross Point Rd in Edgecomb will be held on Saturday, July 11 from 9 a.m. to noon -- or until the flowers are sold out.

Louise Hardina raises German Bearded Iris in Damariscotta. In 2008, she started to divide these for sale to raise money for the shop’s Emergency Fund needs and fuel assistance This year there will be more than a dozen varieties available. Many of the very “special” ones are offered in very limited quantities. Prices will be $4-$5 per rhizome. This year’s sale will include only German Bearded Iris. Most of them can be named. Pictures will be included.

The Edgecomb Thrift Shop is located in the lower level of the Edgecomb Congregational Church on Cross Point Road (via Eddy Road off Route 27 toward Boothbay Harbor). Look for the church signs. Please call 563-5236 for further information. Leave a message, and your call will be returned.
