The annual Ada Lions Club mulch sale will begin Saturday, May 2, at Bass Trucking, 0410 State Route 81 just west of the village.
Mulch is sold from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. each Saturday in the spring.
Since its beginning in 2000, the club has donated $55,000 in sale profits to students for scholarships.
Black mulch costs $35 and brown costs $30 a scoop, which is about a cubic yard. The product can be picked up, or delivery in the Ada area is available for $10.

There's something happening every day in Ada during April and May. Just check the Icon Ada Community Highlights Calendar.
The monthly events are posted below. A printer-friendly copy (nice for your refrigerator or bulletin board) is in an attachment at the bottom of this story.
The two-month calendar is posted six times a year by the Ada Icon as a service to the community.
The Ohio Northern University Relay for Life exceeded its goal this year, according to Nicole Michalek.
"So we beat our goal! I also want to thank The Ada Icon and the community for supporting our cause. The event went on smoothly and everyone had a great time," said Michalek.
ONU's goal was $15,000 and it was topped by $300, meaning $15,300 was realized. The 12-hour relay, held March 20-21 in the King Horn Center is an annual ONU student-run event.
If you were in Ada on Saturday you may have thought you stepped back in time.
That is if you saw the 51st Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Company B, set up camp in Ada. Not to worry. The group is a living history organization.
The company members had a demonstration for ONU Civil War classes. They will be at Appomattox on April 15, during the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's assassination.
The latest phase of Ada's Water Resource Plan has identified scores of potential sources of contamination to the village's drinking water, including large-scale animal farms, crude oil pipelines and privately-owned injection wells.
Village Administrator Jim Meyer provided updates on the nine-year-old project for Ada’s Community Improvement Corporation during their meeting last Wednesday at Ohio Northern University.
