OUR 2026 PLANT SALE

Saturday 9th May in Holloway Village Hall.

​

The Sale is open to the public at 10 00 am, but please note the following from Janet. Please bring your spare plants for sale  from 9 00 am on Saturday or during the Friday evening preparations.

​

We will have three commercial growers with stalls outside the hall (Garthwaite Nursery, Jane Conquest and Earthed Up) in addition to the Society's very popular indoor stalls. They always have excellent plants so are definitely worth a look. 

​

Times: The hall will be open from 6pm on the Friday evening to accept donations of plants, cakes and pre-loved gardening items. It would be great to have a few volunteers there to help set up tables, etc ready for the Saturday morning.

The hall will then be open again on Saturday morning from 9.00-9.45 for people to drop off donations of plants, etc. 

The Plant Sale will open at 10.00 (and you know the answer to this - no, you can't come in early to buy stuff!)

​

Items to bring

• Plants! Please bring spares from perennials you've been splitting and veg plants from all those seeds you've been sowing. 

• Cakes and preserves - delicious homemade produce always sells well. To all those excellent bakers and preserve-makers  - please, please, please bring a cake or a jar of something to sell. 

• Pre-loved gardening items - your junk might be someone else's treasure, so have a look in your shed and bring those things you never use (good quality pots, gardening tools, garden books, etc)

• Bags and boxes to carry away your purchases.

• Cash or card.

Payment system - as last year, you'll go in through the main door but leave by the exit near the toilets, where there will be card machines. You can pay for all purchases at the end in one transaction, instead of paying at each stall. There will be a coloured coded system so the "cashiers" know how much to charge you. (You will, of course, pay separately for anything you buy from the outside commercial stalls).

 

Volunteers - thank you to everyone who has already volunteered to help on the Friday evening and/or Saturday morning. We could always use a bit more help, so if you haven't already offered, it's not too late, please come along and there will be jobs to do! It's always useful to have a few extra people to help clear up at the end of the morning.

 

A reminder of who has offered to help with which stalls:

• Veg, fruit and herbs - Linda, Jane

• Cakes - Chris S

• Hardy perennials - Di, Janet M, Miranda, Annette

• Pre-loved stuff - Mel

• Credit card machine - Jane, Erik

See you on 9th May - and bring a friend will you!
