2009 Fall Plant Sale
The 2009 Fall Plant Sale and Member's Preview Night was a success! We'd like to thank all our volunteers from Propagation Workshop for growing such a wonderful selection of landscape plants. They always produce such unique plants that you cannot find in the home stores/nurseries. We'd also like to thank everyone else that volunteered from our Foundation Office, helping to cashier, bring in new members, help with retrieving carts, 'Plant Guru', lunch service, and everything else in general. Without all this support, it couldn't have happened.
Friday's Member Preview Night was a lot of fun! Two hours goes by fast and people are in the shopping mood. Plants are flying out the door! Thanks to Propagation Workshop and Kathleen Brown for the delicious hors d'oeuvres and wine that we all noshed on. Many of the SCBGF Trustees were on hand to pour wine and help host the fundraiser.
Also a big thanks to all the vendors who helped round out the event. We had a fabulous and varied selection of plants to offer.
And thank you to the community for coming our in force and supporting the Garden and Foundation with your purchases. This is a much anticipated event, and it showed.
Sincerely,
South Coast Botanic Garden Foundation
