| Our booth was attractive, organized and well-stocked! |
It was great!
On 14 May 2016, our club operated a plant sales booth for the second year, at the annual Garden Expo held at Spokane Community College. The event is sponsored by one of the larger garden clubs in the Spokane area, The Inland Empire Gardeners. Each year the Expo attracts hundreds of plant and garden whimsy vendors, and thousands of greenery-starved gardeners. Our club's booth was set up in record time on the Friday evening before the Expo, and early on the following Saturday our booth was inundated with home gardeners wanting everything from succulents (cacti?!) to fruit trees. We stocked our booth shelves with 39 varieties of tomatoes, hundreds of veggie starts, ornamental and livestock plants (squash and pumpkins), medicinal and culinary herbs, and even house plants (Elephant Ears!).
At the end of a long day, we had sold almost all of our inventory, so we deconstructed the booth, and went home tired and thrilled with our success.
A BIG thank you to our Expo helpers, including Pat, Diane, Frank, Sarah, Franklin, Lulu, Jayden, Virginia, Barbara, Brigitte, Tina, Jane, Bill, and Su.
