Another successful plant sale.

Hi Sbg, pity I don't live near you, I could have got all the plants I need from that lot, well done, Derek.

Thanks Derek. I really enjoy propagating plants.

Wish I had known that the sale was on as id have bought a few
If you have any perenials left please let me know ! I am very interested !

Well done,Sbg..a nice sum to donate to your charities again..and nice when your daughter helps as well..I'm sure you will sell the rest of your plants..:o)

Well done from me too! It's good to give something isn't it. I suggested a similar sale at our Residents Association to raise funds for the Childrens Christmas party. It was shrugged off - maybe I should show them this blog!!

What a wonderful collection - how hard you must have worked to put on such a great display. I too wish it had been within reach. Did you mean you deduct the price of pots etc from the profits?

That is sad Scottish. Plant sales are the best place to
expand our plant collections, especially when some have
been lost during the winter.

That's wonderful ! I wish there was something like that near here. I would definately sell some plants for a good cause ...

Are there any charities in Ammanford? They might jump at the chance to have a sale organised for them, and they might find a site too.

Thanks for the comments folks.
That's a shame Scottish. Suggest it again but for May time when people often have spare plants they have raised from seed etc.
Steragram I factor in the price of the pots etc when deciding on how much to charge for the plant and yes this is then deducted from the total takings. This way the buyers get good plants at a reasonable price and I can then give money to the charities. I enjoy growing and this way I can help two charities close to my heart.

There are not that many near us, at one time church fetes were always having plant stalls.

Great work, Sbg & I echo Bloomer's view, that you'll sell the rest no probs!
You've also got old Mouldy thinking, you & Scottish.
I'd have similar probs with my tightwad housing association, but if I was to suggest a gardeners' co-op, or to just start one (Well, there's no law against it. Lol) I'm sure others could be persuaded to hand over a proportion of the sales.
Bring in the local press & a very accomodating MSP & I'm sure the association could be shamed into a donation.
Also to giving us somewhere (Like their nice big boardroom, me thinks) to hold future sales.
Yeah, I like the way you ladies think & to look at you both, who'd believe that butter would ever melt in your mouths.
I mean, look at the subtle way you've now got me plotting & scheming. ;-)

Good luck Mouldy - nice to see you have a very accommodating MSP. Ours doesn't know my village exists ;)

Oh, she doesn't yet know.
She holds surgery at an old folks day centre, where I do a bit of voluntary work.
She seems well-regarded, which tells me she cares.
That's good enough for me.
When I approach her I'll give her the option of refusing, but will add that if she's too busy I can speak to the local MP, instead.
Me, playing off elected dignitaries?
Oooh, what an outrageous suggestion! ;-)

Nearly missed this one Seaburn, well done on all your efforts, doesn't seem long since your daughter was carting last years efforts in the barrow, they say time flies when having fun...

thats what she said haha!
thanks for your comments though lincslass
