Friday, May 10, 2pm - dark: Set-up for Plant, Bake, Soup Sale

We are currently looking for vendors to sell their plants and garden crafts. Most of our vendors are "amateur" gardeners. Think you can't do it? You can! You say you can't be there Saturday to sell your "wares"? No worries! We will sell them for you! Call Kristin at 610-248-2843 for details!
This event will be outdoors. We are asking all vendors to bring their own tables and canopies, if desired. Event will be held rain or shine (unless there will be torrential downpours, a hurricane, a cyclone, or a tornado).
Don't want to sell, but would like to spend the day surrounded by nature and plants and want to volunteer? To be successful, we need as many helping hands as possible - call Kristin! We need help with parking cars, helping at check-out area, helping in the kitchen and bake goods table, answering people's plant questions, helping folks get their plants to their cars, assistance at check out, or just mingling and being jovial. We are known at these sales for a laid-back atmosphere full of smiles.
