Although the local temperatures give no indication of it, Fall is really upon us, according to the calendar. And our Fall Native Plant Sale will be here soon. If you dig up and pot native plants mid to late September, they should be fairly well rooted by Oct 19. Kathy Webster has black plastic pots of various sizes available if you need some. You can email her at katweb59@gmail.com.
If you are growing plants for the sale, please email your plant list by October 7, so we can get all the labels printed. Send your email to: Kathy Webster (katweb59@gmail.com), Gary Fest (garyafest@gmail.com) and Theresa Butler (theresabutler722@gmail.com).
Your plant labels will be ready for pickup at the CNC office by 9:00 a.m. on October 14.
Growers will need to deliver their donated plants (with labels attached) to Herff Farm on Friday, October 18 between 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. so we will have time to get the plants organized and ready for the sale. The “Members Only” pre-sale will take place from 8:00-9:00am on the 19th. The sale will be open to the public from 9:00-1:00.
Gary Fest will organize and schedule volunteers to work on Friday and Saturday. LOTS of volunteers are needed! Please email Gary and let him know if you can work 9-12 on Friday for setup, or on Saturday for the public sale.
If you need help with picking up labels or delivering your plants to Herff Farm, call or email Kathy Webster to make arrangements (210-867-4656 or katweb59@gmail.com). THANK YOU TO ALL THE GROWERS AND VOLUNTEERS!!
