In preparation for our plant sale in the spring of 2018 your help is needed! The most essential step in preparing for the chapter’s Annual Native Plant Sale (Apr. 29, 2018) is the potting of 100’s of bare root spring ephemerals and later season wildflower plugs. Enjoy a wonderful fall morning with friends potting plant sale favorites including bluebells, trilliums, wild ginger, ferns, milkweed, goldenrods, and asters. No experience necessary. We’ll have the comfort of a greenhouse if rainy. All the plants, soil, pots, trays, and labels will be provided. But do bring your extra pots with 4” openings to reduce our future needs to purchase pots.
Potting starts 10:00 at Pat Willis’s welcoming home in Louisa County’s scenic Green Spring countryside. With a good turnout all the plants will be potted by lunchtime when we’ll be rewarded with Pat’s delectable soups. You may bring a dish to share too. Drinks will be provided. Please come and volunteer, the more the merrier!
