Digs Plant Sale May 11th !!

DIGS 2024 Annual Plant Sale

10am to 12pm on Saturday May 11th, 2024

See the plant list with links and photos here.

The plant sale will be held at our Community Garden (rain/shine) and features annuals, perennials, patio plants, deer resistant/shade plants and vegetable starters.

1.  Fifteen people at a time can enter the garden to shop (please don’t socialize too much so those who are still waiting in line don’t have to wait too long.)

2. Please bring your own bags, boxes or trays, wheelbarrow, to carry your purchases home. Only a limited number of such items are available.

3. There is no plant “holding area” due to limited space.

4. Payment is by the Honour System. Bring a pen and paper or calculator and tally up your plants (plant names and prices will be clearly marked) and put cheque or cash in the honour box. Assistants can help for those challenged by the math. See the plant price list below.

This Year’s Special: Only one shaft of sunlight at your place? Try: patio sized fruit & vegetables! See Jim Harris’s table at the sale for all these special plants! (To see what he will be offering this year: See the plant list with links and photos here.)
