Even better than the attractive plants were the incredible, dedicated and terrific Master Gardener volunteers! The event worked so well because of the teams of MG volunteers who knew what to do on Friday handling delivery, pricing and setup from 8:30 in the morning until 7:45 at night. The MG Volunteers returned on Saturday for sales and plant collections management and packing out from 7 in the morning until 5:30 at night. WOW!
HOW GRATEFUL I AM TO ALL OF THE MG VOLUNTEERS on the FRONT LINES of the MGV PLANT SALE.
Master Gardeners also staffed an information table talking about native plants, rain and pollinator gardens.'Celebrate Earth Day' wildflower seed provided by Hampton Jitney was a hit. In addition, MGVs made our Plant Sale an Earth Day family-friendly event with face painting, corn hole, fun in the Children's Garden and Master Gardener rain barrel demonstrations.
I especially want to thank MGs Denise Zizzo, Reid Bielecki, Linda Carlson, Bridget Nelson, and Donna Cange. And thanks to CCE's Sarah Osborn and Nora Catlin who made all come together so well.
This was our first MG PLANT SALE independent of Spring Gardening School. It may be fair to say that each of these Master Gardener events has a loyal following.
Again, many thanks to all who contributed to the wonderful 'vibe' of a very busy event.
