Hopefully, with this wonderful early spring, you have all been busy digging and have many beautiful plants to bring to the sale. The earlier you dig and pot them up, the nicer they will look for our customers. Carol Williams has been a star organizing our dig days all over Ipswich and many of you have dug in - thank you all.
Friday, May 18th Plant drop off and pricing - 3:00 p.m. til 5:30 or 6:00
Please be certain that all your plants are labeled (labels are on the blog for most of our plants - cut and paste to make lots of them, then use mailing tape to put them on tongue depressors which can be purchased at Connolly’s drug store if you need more) Start early, this will take a bit of time!
All plants should be dropped off on Friday between 3:00-4:00pm. If you can not do this, please ask someone else to bring them for you.
When we finish pricing and are all organized, many of our members plan to gather for dinner at a local restaurant - everyone is welcome. Location TBA.
Location Announcement: If it rains we’ll have to set up in Boone Hall at Ascension Memorial Church. I will send an e-mail to all members on Friday a.m. if we can not be outside on the green in front of the visitor’s center.
We need everyone to help both Friday afternoon and Sat. morning. - it’s a lot of work to get everything ready.
We need many, many wheelbarrows. PLEASE, if you possibly can, bring one on Saturday (be sure to put your name on it) and plan to take it home with you after the sale is over..
We will not sell any plants until 9:00am on Saturday in order to ensure equal shopping opportunities for all customers.
In an effort to reduce the length of our lines, we plan to have 3 check-out tables at least for the first hour of the sale. Laurie McAleer will provide the cash boxes and the starting cash for each box.
SALE Saturday May 19th 9-12 noon 7:30-9 A.M. Set Up
12-1:00 P.M. Clean-Up
