Treasures and House Plants needed for the Sale.
We are collecting “treasures” to sell inside the cottage during the plant sale. If you would like an item returned to you if it doesn’t sell, please label the item with your name. Please look around your homes and gardens for items that would be of interest to gardeners-decorative pots, yard art, garden tools, garden related magazines/books, seeds. Please, no sleeping bags, camping related items, household items (unless they have a garden theme). If you would not buy it, don’t bring it! Please drop off items at the cottage on Monday, April 21 and Tuesday, April 22.
House plants are also needed for the sale and will be displayed in the cottage. Look around to see if you have any that you can divide to share for the sale. If you know the light and watering requirements for your house plant, please include an information card.
