Heartfelt Thanks for a Successful Garden Club Plant Sale!
To our incredible volunteers and supporters,
On behalf of the Lansdale Garden Club, I want to extend a massive thank you for making our annual plant sale such a resounding success. As our only fundraiser of the year, this event is the lifeblood of our program, and quite simply, we couldn’t keep our mission growing without your hands in the dirt.
Our Dedicated Volunteers
The energy this year was unmatched, and we owe that to the individuals who went above and beyond:
George & Judy: Our "Green Giants." George, your heirloom tomatoes and variety of peppers were a massive hit. Judy, your wide selection of native plants and perennials provided exactly what our local gardeners were looking for. We are so grateful for your generosity from setup to shutdown.
Maria: The backbone of the logistics. Thank you for ordering from the nursery, coordinating the entire sale, and donating so many plants from your own collection. Your expertise was a gift to every community member who stopped by.
Ginny: Our cornerstone. Thank you for your tireless work on our social media presence and for being there through the entire event, showing incredible grit and dedication to the club.
Stephanie: Thank you for working the sale and for your ingenious Rhubarb Crumble, which was the perfect "sales pitch" for the rhubarb you donated!
Kim: It was wonderful to have you back! Thank you for dedicating your entire day—from the first box moved during setup to the final sweep at shutdown.
Jeff & Bill: Our heavy lifters and providers! Jeff, thank you for delivering the plants and tables, and for sticking through both the setup and the breakdown. Bill, thank you for helping load cars for our customers and for keeping us fueled with coffee and donuts!
Jayme: A huge shout-out to Jayme Feiertag of Keller Williams, who stepped in despite not knowing much about plants! Your math expertise was a lifesaver at the checkout table and kept everything running smoothly.
Arthur, Kate, and Sam: A special welcome and thank you to our newest helpers. Arthur and Kate, thank you for transporting plants and your heavy lifting during setup; Kate, your initiative during the morning rush was amazing. Sam, thank you for jumping into checkout and restocking with such ease, even though you’re new to our meetings!
Ronnie: Even though you were away during the sale, we felt your support—thank you so much for the use of your tables, which were essential for our display.
Our Community Partners
We are incredibly fortunate to be supported by local businesses and organizations that believe in our mission:
Sprouts Farmer's Market: A huge thank you to Store Manager Gwen for your help, and to Aubrey and Aidan for running the booth. Those bananas were fantastic, and the coffee and healthy snacks kept our spirits high all day!
Magi at MagiK Garden: Thank you to our "Native Plant Friend" for bringing your stunning and rare native varieties. Your booth adds such a special element to our sale.
Stauffer Glove and Safety: Our hands (and lips!) thank you. The gloves, lip balm, and clips were incredibly popular and much appreciated by our shoppers.
Lansdale Parks and Rec: We are so grateful for the generous use of the Gazebo, which provided the perfect atmosphere for the day. A special shout-out to our member Donna for coordinating this partnership.
To the People of Lansdale
Finally, thank you to everyone in the Lansdale area who came out to shop. Every plant you took home helps us continue our work in the community. We love seeing your passion for gardening, and we can't wait to see your gardens bloom!
With deep gratitude,
Jennifer Conroy-Schwartz
