It’s time to start potting up plants for the sale! After this cold snap, your plants will start emerging with the warm weather. Spring Plant Sale Guidelines for Donating Plants or becoming a Plant Sale Provider:
All plants need to be 100% Native plants.
Seed propogating should begin in January for the May sale, so they are full, healthy plants ready to put in the ground.
Begin NOW to decide which plants to divide.
Many will be “volunteers” that have shown up in your yard, dig, and repot before April 6th.
Plants in 4” pots need to be full and healthy.
Plants in quart and gallon pots need to have fully rooted and upper growth.
Plants need to have had at least 3 weeks to recover from the division and been watered every 1-3 days, as needed.
Use soil that is 1/3 perlite or compost.
Blooming plants sell best.
Finish dividing the plants no later than April 6 (this will allow the plant to recover).
ID all potted plants with common and scientific names.
Please drop off your plants at the Bath House in the morning of May 3rd. More details will follow.
Ask yourself: Is this a potted plant I would want to buy? We prefer to have multiples of species rahter than one or two of this and that, but if it’s usually hard to find, we’d still love to have it!
