Garden Patch owner Jeanine Gauen (above) and her dogs Diva and Samson are getting ready to host a “Plants for Pets” benefit for the Foothills Humane Society on Saturday, May 21 from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. Located in downtown Columbus, the Garden Patch nursery will donate 10 percent of all sales that day to FHS. The on-the-road crew from the Humane Society will be bringing a number of dogs and cats ready for adoption that need “forever” homes to the Garden Patch on Saturday from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. Both plant and pet lovers are invited to stop by and support this community effort.
