It's the 8th Annual Huge Garage and Pine Mulch Sale! It happens on Saturday, May 12 from 9:30 to 2:30 pm. There will be entertainment while you shop, a barbeque lunch for sale and terrific deals. Make your way to the Airdrie United Church at 204 - First Ave. NE

Organizer Marge Bell says it's a great way to unload some unwanted items from around the house and to spruce up your garden as well.

You'll find the pine mulch in the south parking lot across from the church. It'll be sold in contractor-size bags for $13 and you can take home a truckload for $60. A bobcat on-site will help load the mulch into your truck but only during the sale hours on Saturday.

Mulch is perfect for landscaping around trees, flower beds and walkways. It also prevents water loss from the soil, reduces the growth of weeds, improves soil structure, plus it smells and looks great! After a year or so, the mulch bark breaks down, decomposes and adds nutrients to the soil. There's been discussion as well that cats aren't crazy about it!

Don't miss the big sale. Call the church for more information at 403-948-5527.
