I've got pots all boxed up & ready to send you. Instead of sending you blank labels, would it help if I wrote up the plant names first? If you're selling standard, fool-proof perennials, I could easily do up the labels this winter and save you some time that way. Just give me a heads up as to what plants are on your list. My printing is pretty good: I've also got LOTS of seeds harvested that I can either send you for WS or else WS for you. Here's what I've got enough of to donate: Balloon flower (dwarf purple) Mallow (pink) Peony poppy - White Cloud Columbine (blue/white, pink/white, mixed) Siberian iris (dark blue) Coreopsis Baptisia australis/false indigo Lupine (mixed) My friend Marcia wants to help too so sign her up to either grow stuff or lend a hand.

Michelle - I've got a good-sized box packed up with 3" pots & more labels...the box I was going to drive up and give you back in the Fall. Never did find the time to make the trip. Is there a way to save on shipping by dropping the box off at the Enfield, CT Costco and having it trucked up to Avon? Would they do that? Are you looking for perennial seeds to WS? Anything I've got is yours and I've got LOTS. I'd be happy to make up some seed packs for you. JLMK Eileen

I do a plant sale every year for our Krewe. A few members like to help and bring plants so I have a few rules. 1) Bring your plants to the float barn (we store our floats in a large wharehouse, has a nice outside area that is fenced) at least one week ahead of the sale. 2) Please label all plants with the names you know. 3) Do not price plants. 4) NO ALOE VERA OR SPIDER PLANTS!! (You can't even give them away!). *Then I have at least a week to see what is just stuck, unrooted, in pots and can pull it out. It gives me time to mark the plants as to name, care, etc. And to threaten those that ignored #4. *I make signs for plants I have a lot of, like plumeria or crinums, that list the plant care tips and glue a picture of the plant in bloom on the sign. I'm in the process of making some that I can use over & over again. *Put the big, showy, blooming plants right by the entrace, or even in the driveway so they attract attention. *Put the blooming plants behind the same type that aren't in bloom. *Advertise, and be sure and put in your ad if you have exotic-you'll be surprised at the numer of gardeners who will come out. *Get some tables, sawhorses, etc to make tables and elevate the plants-they sell better off the ground. *Mark them cheaper than the nursery, you can't beat places like Home Depot as a rule but you can have stuff they don't. *Make sure you advertise somewhere that the plants are "local grown" so people know they will do well in your area. *If you have seedlings that aren't in bloom but you have the plant in bloom, pick the blooms & make a bouquet, put it next to the plants-I sold 30 seedlings of one plant that way. *If you keep pics of your garden, stick some of those in with the lants, like on the sign or on a stake, to show what they look like growing. *Have someone, yourself, your garden buddies, available to answer questions. *Be sure and tell people what the money is for. *Make deals-if they buy all those spider plants throw in another plant or make them a price they can't refuse. *Have a TLS pile, the plants that need a little extra, provide information on their care, a picture of what they look like in full glory, cheap price. *Have fun *Sell iced bottles of water, munchies-we have a brisket sale at the same time. *I put my e-mail on the plant tags & that way the buyer can e-mail me with questions-you can provide it to only select buyers too, I do that if I'm lazy that week. *Make and sell seed packets too-you can print the pics on the computer onto the paper & fold your own packages. I found a place on line, can't remember where, to make them from a regular sheet of paper you cut in 1/2 & fold, works great. *Take a chair, at some point you may actually get to sit down!! *Get someone to play cashier, that way you can spend more time answering questions & selling plants. *Empty pots sell really well also. One of the Krewe members painted clay pots one year, they just held plain old plants but were a big hit. *People like plants their grandmother grew, that you don't think anyone would want (like bananas-we sold every one we had!), easy to grow, house plants, exotic stuff, you name it. *Have fun! One year a little old lady brought me some plants! I gave her a plumeria! So you might get to do a trade too! Good luck and good gardening. Tally HO!
