Spring Plant Sale – 2010
Garden Rescue
Over five brisk days in October, November, and December over 30 members returned to Marian Raitz’s home to dig, divide, pot up, and save many of her treasures that she generously donated to our group for the Spring Plant Sale. We took over 15 truckloads to nearby holding sites. We have saved over 2500 pots and more than 100 species. There were many special plants that can’t be found at nurseries anymore. Thank you very much to all of the volunteers.
The complete plant list is below, and can be downloaded (updated 12/21/09).
