Faire on the Square Plant Sale

 

The plant sale is held annually during Baraboo's Faire on the Square.  It usually starts at 7:00 am and ends at 1:00.  This is a fairly simple fund raiser that has improved every year.  It is a fun and easy way to earn community service hours, too.  Members are asked to donate their plant divisions.  Each contributor should pot up, label and price plants and deliver them to the site.  Members are also asked to volunteer time setting up, tearing down or working the station during the day.  

 

 

----------

April 11

The Faire on the Square plant sale is May 15 (previously reported as the 13th).  Donations of plants and volunteers to serve two (or more) hour shifts are needed.  Contact Carrie, themamakiwi@hotmail.com, or 524-0992.

 

 

March 22

The Faire on the Square plant sale is Saturday, May 15.  Volunteers are needed to serve a two (or more) hour shift selling the plants and interacting with visitors.  First shift volunteers, who are able to lift and carry, are needed first thing in the morning to help set up tables and tents, and final shift volunteers, again, who are able to lift and carry, are needed in the afternoon to help tear down. 

 

Donations are also needed.  As gardens wake up and "volunteers" are discovered in unexpected (unwanted) locations or overgrown perennials are thinned, please dig 'em up, pot 'em up and donate them to the sale.  Donations should be potted early enough to recover from any shock.  Please keep these guidelines in mind.  Plants should be in pots or containers, not bagged.  They should be tidy and trimmed of all debris, and should be labeled and priced legibly.  Prices will be adjusted as the day lengthens. 

 

If you are interested in volunteering, contact Carrie at 608-524-0992, or email themamakiwi@hotmail.com.

The Faire on the Square plant sale is May 13 and Carrie is seeking volunteers in two regards: as your garden begins to awaken and you discover "volunteers" in unexpected locations or overgrown perennials, please dig 'em up, pot 'em up and donate them to the sale, and think about serving a two (or more) hour shift selling the plants and interacting with visitors and other MGs.
