Norcross Garden Club Plant Sale - a Perennial Favorite

The Norcross Garden Club Plant Sale – a Perennial Favorite

Did you get a chance to shop The Norcross Garden Club plant sale this year? If not, mark your calendar for April 20 and 21, 2018, because this is a tradition you want to start. A large selection of the plants come from local area resident’s gardens along with a fine selection of flowering plants from a local grower. If that’s not enough to encourage a visit next year, then the fabulous prices should.

Another big hit every year is the Brown Bag Raffle. This year member Connie Devine and her team worked tirelessly to provide a wide selection of items, nearly 40, from local businesses, patrons, and club members. The following businesses deserve a big thank you for their continued support of The Norcross Garden Club:

• Paizano’s
• Zapata’s
• Glitter G
• Mojito’s
• 45 South “A Coffee Kitchen”
• Good Things
• Studio 87 Yoga
• Dominick’s
• Antique Traditions, Details Boutique and rem-i-nisce
• The Crossing Steakhouse
• The Bleu House Cafe
• The Market
• The Lionheart Theatre
• Chase’s Wingery
• Green Reyno Nursery (most popular raffle item)
• Woody’s Nursery (2nd most popular raffle item)
• Red Clay Theatre
• Georg Skowranek, Norcross potter

New this year were two additions to the plant sale – Saturday, Howard Brothers Hardware presented a workshop on tool care and maintenance. Also, there was a post-sale event for members where the Club raised enough money from the sale of recycled City of Norcross plants to help send two deserving rising 5th & 6th graders to The Garden Club of Georgia “Wild & Wonderful Summer Camp” in July.

The Norcross Garden Club could use your help for the Club’s plant sale in 2018. Do you have plants to share? We’d love to come to your garden to thin out your hostas, daisies, fern, or other perennials. March is a great month to start dividing plants. Contact us at norcrossgardenclub@gmail.com.
