So many great ideas here! Yesterday I spoke with
Carlo who gave me a contact at the NYBG community garden program. We also
have a very active Habitat for Humanity chapter here in town, my husband does
work for them. I'd be glad to donate plants to them and even give a lesson to
the new home owner.
Last night the problem was solved. My 14 year old
daughter is in our local high school marching band and they announced a massive
garage sale on April 24th & 25th. I've decided to set up a plant booth
there. All prices will be firm since the donations are going to the band. It's
also a great location for the more common things like the truck load of Lychnis
coronaria I have to dig up.
Stephan, Some of the gardeners that come here for
plants are extremely thankful. They send notes, which is very nice. A few have
made me things such as monogrammed napkins or picked up a gardening picture
frame, which is totally unnecessary but also very nice. Many woman though never
show up to work in one of my community projects or when the garden is on tour
but are at the front of the line to receive their "freebies". A few even show up
with newly manicured nails and linen slacks and seem to expect me to
load their car for them. That's when I get conveniently busy in another
part of the garden.
Insurance: Once we began giving tours here we
increased our umbrella/home owners policy to 1 million. In 2006 when the
national American Hemerocallis Society tour will be here we'll get event
insurance.
Yesterday I spent three hours weeding at Planting
Fields Arboretum. PFA will be on tour during the GWA Symposium in September and
will be stunning at that time of year. I'm signed up to be a bus captain in
hopes I will get to know many of you that way.
Lon, can photos be sent to this site?
Oops, time for the school bus,
Melanie
