Potting Party, fun and Productive

On Thursday, May 7, Kris, Sue, Deb, Pam, Sandy and Mary C (did I miss anyone?) got together at Kris's for the annual potting party in preparation for our annual plant sale. We potted up a large variety of items. With some things potted up at members homes, our list currently includes items listed below. We welcome contributions of more of the same or other items. If you have other items to contribute, please let Mary C know (or me and I will pass it on) so that she can get photos to print up for our customers.

Potting soil and pots are available through Kris. There is plenty so don't be shy about asking.

Our customers do love hostas so if you have any of those to contribute, that would be great.

Other things needed: Vegetables and annuals (if your seedling survived!!), shrubs, flowering shrubs, succulents, daisies, lupines, poppies, Asiatic lilies, asters, liatris, etc. etc. etc.....
