Plant & Seed Sale, Wednesday, Oct 15th

Hi Grandview Garden Club people,

For our October meeting, instead of a special speaker, we will be having a Plant & Seed Sale, 7:00-9:00, Wednesday, Oct 15th, Astorino’s.

All club members are invited to sell plants and/or seeds.

Please let us know if you want to sell. 

If you sell, you are welcome to keep your profits or we would really appreciate it if you were to donate your profits or a portion of them to the Grandview Garden Club.

We won’t be charging our usual $4 meeting drop-in fee that night. Anyone can come.

Please:

* Do not bring any invasive plants to sell!

* Make sure your pots are clean.

* Label everything you want to sell. 

* Price things yourself. 

* Bring some plastic shopping bags for people to take their plants home in.

* Be prepared to take home anything you bring that doesn't sell!

Thanks very much, and we’ll see you on Wednesday, Oct 15th!
