The 5th annual charity plant sale, benefiting Boston Children’s Hospital via Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, will be held this May 2014. This year the committee hopes to raise $12,000. The plants are donated by volunteer gardening enthusiasts and by wholesale and retail greenhouse partners. The $12,000 goal will require a lot of plants. They ask for your support through donations of:
* Trays of herbs and blooming plants each week in May
* Any plant material, or propagation supplies (seeds, trays, plug cells, starting mix, potting mix, plant tags, fertilizer, etc.)
* Volunteers to spend a few hours sharing their knowledge of plants at the sale. (Volunteers will get a one day shopping pass to Costco Avon as
well as a free meal from the Costco food court)
Costco Wholesale not only provides the venue for the sale, but will also provide one extra large conspicuously posted Children’s Miracle Network sponsorship balloon/poster displaying your information for any donation worth $500 at retail. Your contributions are tax deductible.
To make a donation of money, material or time, or to learn more about the fundraiser, contact Aaron Tarver (atarver@crazyplantlady.org or 774-273-0018).
