Fall 2012 Plant & Craft Sale

We had a beautiful September Saturday--and the autumnal equinox-- for our fall plant & craft sale this year. This sale funds the Belltown Garden Club Scholarship awarded in the spring to a graduating senior at East Hampton High School who pursues further studies in conservation, horticulture, or any of the sciences.  Hollye Thomas was the chairperson.  She will let us know at the September meeting (tonight) if we made our goal of $250.

 

Hollye (in blue) and Donna Marsden set up the crafts table.  We had brownies and pickles, herbs and dried flowers in a lovely old pitcher, greeting cards, notepads and luggage tags and a yoga bag for sale--just to mention a few of the creative and crafty items donated.  Thank you, members!

 

 

We also had many plants from the gazebo planting.  Sue Hewes had a work night at the gazebo planting beds.  With the help of many members, we dug and divided Black-eyed Susans, Hostas, Helianthus, Siberian Iris, daylilies and Coreopsis.  Members and other gardeners donated several varieties of plants from their gardens to make a good selection of plants.  Again, thanks to all you donated their time, effort and plants to make this sale successful.
