SUMMARY:Barn Drop Off & Clean up
DESCRIPTION:We will be organizing our supplies at the barn and accepting items that are donated for next year’s Plant Sale. \nBring any empty pots\, trays\, cardboard flats\, hanging baskets\, miniblinds\, popsicle sticks (either painted for pricing or freshly liberated from the popsicle)\, yard signs if you don’t have room to store it until next year\, and anything else you’ve been saving to donate for the sale.  \nIf this date does not work for you\, hold onto items for the fall collection or ask a fellow gardener to bring them for you. \nWhat we really need are one-gallon pots (we use about 2000 every year) and 3-to-4-inch pots for annuals (round or square with trays) but we will also accept other sizes provided they are empty of all dirt/ soil\, have removable tags removed\, and are not broken or damaged in any way.  \nOdd sizes of pots that don’t fit in our trays or that take up more space on the tables are less useful. We can’t use terra cotta or ceramic pots for perennials or annuals but if they are smaller and suitable for houseplants we will take them.  \nKeep in mind that anything you bring that we cannot use has to be discarded and there are no dumpsters at the barn. This means someone must haul it away and put it in their garbage. When you bring your items\, keep in mind that volunteers are organizing more than your donations so plan time to sort your items by type and size so we can get the job done sooner.
