<div style="margin: 0px"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px">I hope you are all doing well as we find our way toward a new normal. Due to coronavirus concerns, the plant sale committee has decided to postpone our big plant sale until the fall. However, we<span> </span><b>will</b> be holding a
smaller<span> </span><b>members and friends<span> </span>sale</b>: online presales only with pickup on June 6. Please stay tuned for details.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px">If you were planning to donate plants to the sale, hooray! We can always use more plants to sell. However, because we are creating an online catalog, we will need very specific information from you:</div>
<div style="margin: 0px">
<ul>
<li>plant name</li><li>number of plants/clumps/containers (because we can sell only as many as we have)</li><li>size of plant/container (to allow us to price them for the online catalog)</li><li>plant description--and if you have a photo, that is even better!<br>
</li><li>whether it is a native plant (if you know)</li><li>growing requirements (sun/shade, how much water, that kind of thing)</li></ul>
<div style="margin: 0px">Here is an example of what I mean.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px">Rudbeckia hirta (brown-eyed Susan)--15 4-inch pots</div>
<div style="margin: 0px">Mostly yellow daisy with brown center. 2-3'. Full sun, drought-tolerant, deer-resistant. Good butterfly plant. Native to eastern US. Short-lived but self-sows. Does well in containers.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px">Please send your list of plants to me (bennphil@hotmail.com) no later than<span> </span><b>11:00 PM</b> <b>Sunday, May 24.</b><i style="font-weight: bold"> </i>The online catalog should arrive in your e-mail inbox on May 30. Details
on how to order will arrive in a later message.</div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px">Plant donors: we will be packing orders on Friday, June 5, so all plants will need to be delivered to the church courtyard no later than 9:00 AM on that day. All plants will need to be labeled so that our packing volunteers know what
is what. </div>
