Come celebrate a very successful plant sale!
Plant Sale Thanks!
The Silent auction was a major success thanks to the donations of the following local businesses: Lauterstein Massage, Pint House Pizza, Stinson's, Myo Massage, Dharma Yoga, Ritual Salon, Hillside pharmacy, Ten Thousand Villages, Shoal Creek Nursery, Breath and Body Yoga, Ruby's BBQ, Noble Sandwich, Apothecary Cafe, Feats of Clay and the Phoenicia Bakery. Please return the support.
Additionally, several gardeners contributed to the silent auction. Special mention goes to Ray Porter who created 2 charming metal birds from discarded garden tools and Kathleen Cobb who donated many items including the tiller. Thanks to Kathleen, Linda, Jean Armstrong (sweet potato/spinach pie), Suzanne Bradford and John Moore (deviled eggs) for supplying sustenance, coffee/tea for the volunteers.
Thanks to all.
