Successful Growing Friends Plant Sale

The 2017 spring plant sale was held on Saturday 11th November in the small carpark behind the Crosbie Morrison Building in the Gardens. Suzi Bond was there to talk about plants that provide food for butterflies. She found it interesting to see the sale and to talk to some of the customers and Growing Friends. The sale raised $5918, all of which will go towards the many projects supported by the Friends. Most plants went to the early customers and there was a steady stream until about 10:00. Wahlenbergia gloriosa, which had not been offered for sale before, was particularly popular. We closed up at 10:30 with about 20 plants to be put back.
