I’m gearing up big time for the sale next week! The yard is ready and the plants are rolling in. If you have plants you would like to donate, you may bring them — the sooner the better! However if sooner isn’t better for you I will take them at any time before or during the sale. If I am not there just leave them on my front porch or near the side gate going to the back. The address is 203 Howard Street, Ashland.
For those of you who donate plants, the preview sale is this Thursday, April 28th from 4pm until dark. At that time, plant donors may purchase up to the number of plants they donate. Please remember this is not a swap, nor has it ever been a swap. It is a sale to raise money for The Nature Conservancy.
The sale continues for the general public on Friday, April 29th from 4pm until dark and Saturday, April 30th from 9am – 1pm.
Also for those who donate plants before Saturday of the sale, there will be free plants available after the sale is over. The sale will end at 1pm and the yard will be cleared out for 20 minutes before the ‘after sale’ occurs. At this time Deborah Barber, who works for The Nature Conservancy, will give a short talk about what the money from the sale will benefit. At 1:20, the yard will be opened again for the ‘free for donors’. This is one of my favorite parts of the sale because there are always great plants left over and I love to see you donors get some neet things to try. It also benefits me by quickly cleaning out my back yard!
Hope to see you soon!
