Thank you to everyone who helped with our "Mini" Plant Sale on Saturday, and a big SHOUT OUT to Bonnie Percival for organizing it!

When some of our plants fell through, Bonnie pivoted and forged ahead, and despite not having as many plants as previous years, we still had a wonderful variety of natives, annual, perennials, and more.

Next year we'll take some photos to share!
