A NOTE FROM OUR DIG CHAIR

Thank you to all who helped make the plant sale such a success. It takes many hands and many parts. One of the parts that is foremost of the supplies we need is pots. Since we have never counted the number of plants at the sale, we really don't know how many pots are needed. Please keep one-gallon size pots in reasonable condition at your home.  Some members may have accumulated a large supply of pots on their own or are storing pots that were previously collected. Please contact me with an estimate of the number of pots you have. Thank you so much, Cathy Nelmes, 404-455-9537.
