How:

For those who donate plants, there are excellent PERKS! There will be a PREVIEW sale just for plant donors on Thursday, Apirl 29 from 4pm-dark. On this day, plant donors may purchase up to the number of plants donated by that person. Some items actually sell out on this day. So the more plants you donate, the more purchasing power you have. It is permissible to bring a friend and share your “credits” with your friend. Saturday at 1:00, all leftover plants are given to ANY plant donor in ANY quantity. Those who are not plant donors can still purchase plants at this time until they are gone.

The procedure for the sale is this: If you have plants to donate, you can leave them on my front porch any time during the week before the sale (please leave your name so I know who donated what). If you can label them, that’s great, but most people (like myself) are lucky to get them in the pots in time. No invasive alien plants will be sold and we love to see Virginia native plants at the sale.

Then, if you are a donor, show up at the preview or any of the sale times if you would like to purchase plants. Donors who would like free leftover plants can show up at 1:00 or later after the sale is over (there’s always good stuff left). And, of course, you don’t have to donate plants to shop on Friday and Saturday.

Feel free to post comments or helpful tips and any gardening info you want to share. As we get closer to the sale, I will be posting more information so stay tuned!
