Wow! Wow! Wow! What a sale. Kudo's to all who helped. Starting with the committee Chair Alycyn Culberson and her tireless efforts to all the diggers and potters, labelers, pricers, etc..I know everyone is waiting to hear how good. Gross plant sales were $4673, ways and means $508 for a total of $5161 resulting in a net profit after expenses of $4669. That's $1737 more than last year, which is an increase of 60%.
Again Wow, Wow, Wow, you all did it, take a bow, I'm so proud.

Hello BVGC! What an amazing and fabulous Spring Plant Sale today. I have a few words to say...
CATHY DOWNARD!!! MARY LOU FROST! VARGINYA HALMAN, MARY O, ELAINE & DICK ROONEY, PEGGY & RON STEWART, ANNE MATHIS, BARB TEMPLIN, VAL ELLIS, TOM IRWIN, Dorothy Sandoval, Kathy Allen, RoseAnn Hofer, Dory Hammeke, Debbie Edmunds, Kathy Woxland, Joanne Blount, Millie Bradford, Kathy Fourt, Val Courter, Judy J...
The truly amazing thing is that back in March, thru all the digging and potting (photos left), there were SO MANY BVGC MEMBERS WHO PITCHED IN, DIG AFTER DIG, pot after pot! Truly a club event and a club effort! We are so fortunate to have so many pitching in!
I know I run the risk of forgetting peeps when I start naming names, and I am tired enough, as you all are, that it might happen, please forgive if I failed to mention you, but this is a good start...one last mention that adds a bit to this feat is that many of us are master gardeners and worked out tails off for 3 days last Fri, Sat and Sunday at the Expo then rolled into our BVGC SPS...Lots of love here...Kudos to the Ways and Means gals too and a HUGE thanks to you all...and not least...a true leader, an example and an inspiration...Tony. love u boss.

Georgina is the first scholarship winner to attend an event other than the September meeting where the winners are introduced to the Club members. She is an outstanding student. One of her major influences was her grandmother who was a Master Gardener.
