The 2011 Plant Sale - - -Plant & People Magic
Once again we were overjoyed with the success of the sale -- bringing in over $10,000! We marveled at the plants and other delightful donations that arrived at IN SPIRIT headquarters in Woodacre. We welcomed offerings such as hand-potted herb gardens, fabulous "color" pots by Deacons from SGV Presbyterian Church, arrangements potted in vintage tins by Mary Chapman and Jean Kinsey, and many other shared treasures. Many local gardeners and businesses supplied our stock including John Kaufman with seedlings from the local school, Dahlia Kamesar, Dale Kemp, Pam Bird, Sunnyside Nursery, United Market, Fairfax Lumber and Home Depot. Our greenhouse cared for by Amy Valens and Tomato Dan resulted in many veggie and flower seedlings, and tomatoes overflowed into Dan's Tomato Land. A truckload of irresistible garden chotskies from Don and Sita Greer made everybody cheer. Jill Tramontano offered her wonderful pottery, and Marty Meade shared beads from the Arroyo Road Bead Collective. Signage provided by Ann Jones and Cathy Calaway again simplified our final mad rush.
Our hard-working dedicated volunteers again spent days setting up and staffing the sale and made it all come together. Thank you to the hard-working team: Amy Valens, Karen Zaggalini, Carol Hodil, Nancy Nichols, Joy Kendra, Marcia Gunnarson, Cindi de Channes, Valerie Fontenot, Sabenah Elizabeth, Tenaya Wieczorek, Kelly Durrant, Kathy Perkins, Jill Tramontono, Mesa Nordbye, Erin Clark, Jamie Sheldon, Michel Kotski, and Marie Grindler.
Every donation, small and great, added to the exciting event that is the IN SPIRIT Plant Sale. As one newcomer commented, "I get it! It's a festival!" Thank you one and all. Think of IN SPIRIT if you have things to share, and we hope to see you in 2012.
2010 Plant Sale
Straw Hats Off to Perennial Plant Sale Volunteers Amy and Dan Amy Valens and Dan Emery (a.k.a. Tomato Dan) kept the Plant Sale alive and well throughout the year. They watered, pruned, transplanted, transported, nurtured and entertained the plants to be ready for their debut at the Plant Sale in May. Amy and Dan were also hands on deck for the sale. They helped lighten our work load and keep the mission and tradition alive.
