Annual HPC Potluck, Plant and Book Sale

Pot up your plants!

With Spring in full bloom, as our gardens awaken becoming lush with plenty of rain and sun, think ahead to the HPC plant sale at the von Trapp Greenhouse and Gardens on August 23rd. Divide and pot up those rare and unusual Garden Treasures that you wish to offer at our largest fundraiser of the year.

With early season transplanting and dividing, all those desirable Beauties will be in top form for August if potted up now. Older, hard to find hand me down varieties, hardy rare exotics, regionally rarely offered pollinator pleasing natives, and tough structural tree, shrubs and grasses, or just your plain favorites make enticing additions to the plant sale.

Labeling your plants with common and botanical names makes for better sales along with your name for ease in answering questions. Let’s see if we can top last year’s offerings and success!
