Ikebana club and Friends of East Sacramento present event full of 'useful and interesting stuff'
From garden tools and supplies to housewares, expect a diverse range of items at the Community Yard Sale on Saturday. Kathy Morrison
When it comes to yard sales, the more participating sellers the better. They diversify the merchandise.
And this yard sale will have it all from outdoor art and country chic to practical housewares and garden supplies.
Saturday, May 20, Shepard Garden and Arts Center in McKinley Park will be full of local sellers during its second annual Community Yard Sale. Sponsored by Ikebana International Sacramento and Friends of East Sacramento, the sale will be held in the center’s parking lot and patio.
Hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Admission is free. Due to the sale, park on the streets surrounding the north end of McKinley Park.
“The Community Yard Sale is the perfect place to sell useful or interesting stuff you no longer use in your home,” say the organizers. “Last year’s sale featured garden and floral design supplies, useful houseware items, camping equipment and collectibles – including a collection of vintage ‘Wizard of Oz’ Christmas tree ornaments.”
Got stuff to sell? Space may still be available. Cost is $40 per table. To reserve a sales table or space, email FriendsofEastSac@aol.com or call 916-452-8011.

Garden Checklist for week of Oct. 6
Get ready to get to work! Cooler weather is headed our way mid-week.
* Clean up the summer vegetable garden and compost disease-free foliage.
* Harvest pumpkins and winter squash.
* October is the best month to plant trees, shrubs and perennials.
* Before planting, add a little well-aged compost and bone meal to the soil, but hold off on other fertilizers until spring. Keep the transplants well-watered (but not wet) for the first month as they become settled.
* Dig up corms and tubers of gladioli, dahlias and tuberous begonias after the foliage dies. Clean and store in a cool, dry place.
* Treat azaleas, gardenias and camellias with chelated iron if leaves are yellowing between the veins.
* Now is the time to plant seeds for many flowers directly into the garden, including cornflower, nasturtium, nigella, poppy, portulaca, sweet pea and stock.
* Plant seeds for radishes, bok choy, mustard, spinach and peas.
* Plant garlic and onions.
* Set out cool-weather bedding plants, including calendula, pansy, snapdragon, primrose and viola.
* Reseed and feed the lawn. Work on bare spots.
