We do an annual sale in the spring to benefit the volunteers at the local hospital. We were asked to do one this fall, so we got there early and set up. Well, they hit us, and it didn't let up till 4 when the sale was over!! We sold over $1200. They keep part of the proceeds. We made money and helped a good cause. Now, I want to go prop my feet up!!
Blessings on you, dear Susie. You do so much good and bring so much happiness with your plants.
Boy, this looks familiar! For several years our local garden club put on plant sales. The proceeds were used to buy garden books for the library and to bring in guest garden speakers. Plant sales are wonderful for the community in so many ways. Where else can they go and get so much wonderful information, as well as plants!
Susie you are a dear. Another part of your giving heart showing!! I hope they didn't work you too hard.
TiG, it's a good thing it's only one day!! I was so tired I didn't even want to pollinate my brugs.
OH NO!! you really worked hard!! I'm glad you got to make a little money from this, I know you and you busted your behind!
TiG, we brought the horse trailer full, Steve's pickup full and my SUV was full of mums(I sneezed all the way there!) and we had to keep going back and get more, it was a mad house!! They would grab them as we tried to bring them in. We didn't get to eat lunch till 2, had to go get Steve some OJ because his bloodsugar got too low.
Sisie...I hope you got some rest later. Jo
Bless your great big heart!!
How many people went in on this - I mean how many others contributed plants. I'll bet you did 90% of it!! Our Garden club does this in the spring, there are about 50 members and only about 10 of us really donate plants.
It really looks nice set up inside. We use a covered booth in a parking lot and it always turns cold that day. Congratulations.
Good job Susie, hope you soaked your feet in epson salts, like they tell is good for plants. Bless you!
Cala.........you big old, loving, soft heart!!! Where do you get all that energy?? Can I have just a small protion of that vitality for SASE?????
"eyes"
God Bless you Susie!!
Nothing like spreading the joy of gardening and being a Godsend at the same time.
(((((((((((HUGS&LOVE)))))))))))))
What a sweet Christian thing to do! Makes my heart happy to know you, Suzie.
These were all my plants. We gave the hospital 25% of gross sales, they need the money to keep the volunteer organization going, there were 2 other businesses set up there, one with UT stuff, and one with uniforms. The volunteers get all their money from donations and from these sales(also from the little gift shop that they run in the hospital)They wanted to buy poinsettias from me, but I'm afraid it will take my whole crop to fill the order!!
Soooo - Why do you care who buys them???
cause then the nursery customers will go somewhere else!
It didn't matter who bought them.
