It’s time to start thinking about the Olde Ripton Garden Club Plant Sale. As you know, the plant sale in May is a major fundraiser for the Club and the proceeds enable us to do many of the activities we do throughout the year.
This year we want to start planning for the plant sale early so that we can be assured of a successful sale. We are looking for volunteers to work on the Plant Sale Committee and start the planning process. There will be 1 or 2 meetings per month beginning in February and we will be discussing things like plants for the sale, care of plants, staging, pricing, publicity and so on.
Please let us know if you would be willing to work on this committee. It is an important job and we’re certain this group will have a great deal of fun putting this year’s sale together. Send us a note today if you can be on this committee.
ALSO…we are looking for members to start some flower seedlings for the sale beginning in February in your home. A windowsill, sunny spot or even a shelf with plant lights would be a great place to start. We will be providing a list of flowers to grow for this purpose. If we get enough people involved, we can have every member grow one of the flowers on the list and have a “seedling swap” in the spring with other members, much like a cookie swap. So send us a note to let us know if you would be interested in growing seedlings and we will see how many members we can involve. The more the merrier!
Thank you in advance for your help. We’re hoping to have as many people as possible work with us on this year’s sale and look forward to your response.
