Plant Sale Huge Success!Yes, every gardening group says that about their plant sale. But DMGA's 6th annual Spring Plant Sale held Saturday, April 25, was our biggest yet—and the hottest. Reaching 86 degrees, it was the warmest day of the year so far. The customers gathered early, anticipating the 9:00 a.m. opening. Seconds after the "ribbon cutting" they were off to hunt for fine sun and shade perennials, trees and shrubs, and some rare and specialty plants. Our members, old and new, are to be commended for coming through with dedication, thought, planning, sore muscles, truck driving and loading and unloading, labeling, pot washing, watering, pricing, digging, potting, tallying, and more. We wish to thank the neighborhood associations and garden clubs who publicized the sale and helped to make it a community event. And we especially thank all the customers, longtime and first-time. We hope that you found proven plants and sage advice on their care and selection. Thank you for supporting DMGA. For more plant sale photos, select "Photos" from the menu. (If you wonder why some of the photos appear dark, that's how the mall parking lot looks at 5:00 a.m. when we start to set up for the sale.)
