Peterborough Horticultural Society Annual Plant Sale – May 24, 5pm

Just a reminder to keep in mind that we are preparing for our annual Plant Sale and we would
appreciate donations of plants and garden decor, as well as help from volunteers.

The sale will be held on Friday, May 24, at Westdale United Church, 1509 Sherbrooke Street. Plants
can be dropped off at 12:00 p.m., sale will start at 5:00 p.m.

A wide variety of plants will contribute to the success of our sale. We are setting a limit of 5 for
identical plants. Plants that are donated should be identified by their bloom colour.
We would appreciate that aggressive or invasive species are not to be donated. Plants could be
potted into containers that will be sold for $5.00, $10.00, $15.00, etc.
There will be a sign-up sheet at our April general meeting, so volunteers can sign up then or get in
touch with Anita Clifford anitaclifford@bell.net or by phone 705.748.0267

Wondering What (NOT) to donate to the plant sale?
We love to get plant donations BUT…..
There are many plants out there that are invasive and some that don’t turn out to be what we
thought they would when we dig them out to donate. Please check the list below before you decide
what to donate to the Plant Sale and if you have questions, please contact Anita.
