[Fuusm-l] Plant Sale Announcement(s)

[Rebecca Phillips]

Dear members and friends,

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 will be holding a smaller members and friends sale: online presales only with pickup on June 6. Please stay tuned for details.

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:

  *   plant name
  *   number of plants/clumps/containers (because we can sell only as many as we have)
  *   size of plant/container (to allow us to price them for the online catalog)
  *   plant description--and if you have a photo, that is even better!
  *   whether it is a native plant (if you know)
  *   growing requirements (sun/shade, how much water, that kind of thing)

Here is an example of what I mean.
Rudbeckia hirta (brown-eyed Susan)--15 4-inch pots
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.

Please send your list of plants to me (bennphil at hotmail.com) no later than 11:00 PM Sunday, May 24. The online catalog should arrive in your e-mail inbox on May 30. Details on how to order will arrive in a later message.

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.

Thank you for all your contributions to our FUUSM community.

Rebecca Phillips
