HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE PLANT SALE
1 A week or more before the sale, divide your plants getting a good supply of the root system. This will give the plants time to recover from being wrenched from their home.
2. Place in clean pots with adequate soil.
3. Water, water, water!
4. Label clearly with the common name or botanical name. You can use Popsicle sticks or stick on labels on the pot. Avoid donating invasive plants, as no one wants them.
5. Indicate whether they need sun or shade.
6. Keep them in a cool place out of the sun until Sale day.
7. A clean, well-potted and clearly labelled plant is going to sell more easily and for a better price.
