Getting ready for the Potting Party Thursday, May 7, 5:30 at Kris'

The Burnett Garden Club potting party is a fun event and so very important to the success of our Big Gust Days plant sale. The more young plants we get potted up at the party, the better they look a month from now. And we do it all together!

Start digging up and separating those plants, store the whole clump in a plastic bag or a big bucket. Keep them moist and away from freezing temps but not too warm. Bring them and your gardening gloves to Kris'. If you have to be a little late, not problem, there will be plenty to do. And if you don't have plants, come anyway, we can use your help.

The club provides soil. Kris has some pots but bring 2 inch, 4 inch, quart and gallon pots if you have them.

Dress for the weather and for getting dirty. A few hand tools can be handy too though Kris usually has a bunch.

And there's always refreshments afterwards! Feel free to bring along something to add to the festivities afterward!

So don't miss out on the fun. Join us Thursday, May 7, 5:30 pm at Kris' on East Spirit Lake Road, # 22163.
