Contributing to the Spring Plant Sale
The May Plant Sale is the Horticultural Society’s main annual fundraising event, where many members top up their plant supplies. The money raised enables the Society to run the full and varied programme of regular gardening events for members – especially the shows and monthly talks – through the year. But here’s the catch: we can’t do it without you! The plants sold are donated by members, and a great Sale needs a wide variety of healthy plants.
Can you help by growing and potting up some spare plants from your garden and greenhouse? Every single plant you contribute helps our Society thrive . Easy ways to help No matter your gardening skills, here’s how you can pitch in: ● Veggies & herbs : Sow a few extra seeds this year—or donate spares after planting your vegetable beds. ● Bedding plants : Sow the whole packet of seeds and pot up those you don’t need for your decorative pots or borders. ● Leftover shop-bought plants : Bought a tray but won’t use it all? Share the extras—no need to repot if it’s close to the sale. ● Garden Divisions : Split overcrowded plants or pot up ones you no longer want. (Don’t know the name or variety? We’ll figure it out!) ● Cuttings : Propagating plants from cuttings etc? Pass along any you don’t need. Healthy specimens of all the plant types above always sell well and are very welcome. We do also sell some house plants.
