FLOWER SALE

Well, our flower sale is quickly approaching so I need to give some information out to interested shoppers.


As you can see, our greenhouse is bursting at the seams with beautifully colored plants. Some of the plants were placed in 6 pack containers and need to be moved to 3" packs because they are getting too large and want more room. Some of the items that will be growing in our urns this summer are being moved to larger quart pots to help them increase their size before we place them outside. I've also have to get Chef's herbs planted so he may make some wonderful dishes for you to enjoy. We're going to grow a couple of flats of Arugula as well for Chef to use as needed in the kitchen. Ok, on to bigger and better things.




THE FIRST ANNUAL GLEN ECHO PLANT SALE
The sale will take place on Saturday May 9th from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon or until all the product we have available has been sold. You may park your car in the clubhouse parking lot and we will have carts(either golf carts or maintenance carts) available at the pro shop for you to ride down to the maintenance building. Once you've completed your shopping, we will transport your plants to your vehicle. If you would like to play golf and then take your plants when you have completed your round, we will be happy to store them. The clubhouse has prepared a form for me to have you sign and your account will be charged appropriately.
I will have additional information available the day of the sale on each plant if there is something that has peaked your interest but you do not have a lot of knowledge regarding the habit or growing requirements of a particular plant. You may also contact me through email and I can send you a fact sheet on a specific plant.
All Plants are annuals unless otherwise noted in the description.

The 7 varieties below will be sold in 6 packs with 36 total plants per flat.
$ 1.50 per 6 pack and $ 8.00 per flat.
