Even with two inches of rain the night before and a flash flood watch during the day, Saturday’s plant sale was a success!! Our preliminary estimate is $1,600 net!! The weather dampened the crowd at the Farmers Market but we still had customer’s trying to buy plants before the sale was slated to open!
A super big THANKS goes out to Joan Mukherjee and MaryLynne Norman for furnishing so many plants. Joan’s F150 truck bed was packed full with plants and MaryLynne keeping pulling plants out of her car. You ladies are amazing!!! A great big shout out to everyone else who brought even one plant or multiple plants—every plant is a big addition to the effort.
Another big thanks goes out to Backbone Valley Nursery! They donated plants to the
sale and gave us great prices on the plants that we purchased.
The volunteers are what makes the day so much fun. We had volunteers who have worked more than twenty sales throughout the years and volunteers who were at their very first sale. It was a wonderful day learning from each other and spreading the word
about natives to the public.
Thanks to Wendy Tillotson, DJ Sanders, Carolyn Crouchet, Pat Campbell, Melissa
Macdougall, Cassie Oberhaus, MaryLynne Norman, Chris Northup, Linda O’Nan, Tria
Fink, Kim McGregor and Joan Mukherjee for volunteering for the morning.
