If you have questions regarding volunteer duties, you can call or text or email Anne Breuer or Bonnie Oakden.
Fabulous Finds
There have been many questions regarding the “Fabulous Finds” area of the Boutique.
A brief description is: Items that are not plants, but can be used in the garden or decor in the house which is garden or plant related. They should be very gently used or new items. Here are just a few ideas: gardening books, garden signs, garden tools, statues, solar lights, and many more. Clean and make items sale ready. Keep them at your home until Friday May 12, 8:00-10:00 AM at the club house where they will be priced and prepped for sale.
