My favorite event every year! We celebrated our 80th annual sale this year with $11,519 in sales in just two sessions. First day was 4 PM to 7 PM and second day was 8 AM to 11 AM. That's just 7 hours of sale time! We closed an hour early, sold out this year! The majority of plants are donations that our members are sharing from their own gardens! So, we have reasonable prices and area hardy plants to sell! When we opened it took 45 minutes for the people in line to get inside! That's lots of gardeners and eager customers!
Our members are such a fun team to work with, lots of bonding, sharing gardening information and plants! Not to mention the good food shared to keep our energy up during our 1 1/2 days of set up tasks! Gardeners are good cooks, by the way!
Money once again to keep our community projects funded and contribute $2,000 in scholarships to our local college Horticulture Department's students! Yes, it is a very satisfying event to participate in!
