2021 Annual Plant Sale – Completed

This year’s Plant Sale was a tremendous success for FoRRGS despite the hurdles from public health restrictions. For those who were lucky enough to snag plants from our exclusive plant sale, we hope that you are enjoying a little piece of Reader Rock Garden at your home.

Special acknowledgement to the dedicated Directors who made the Plant Sale possible, especially: Daniel Walker, Fabian Patino, Liz Lunney, Karen Hogan and Sue Gryzenhout– thank you! In addition, a shout out to Market Wines who generously supplied us with cardboard trays to facilitate transporting the precious cargo to their new homes. As a not-for-profit organistion, we are much obliged for this community support!

FoRRGS would also like to take this opportunity to thank all who have renewed annual memberships despite limited activities due to COVID-19. This greatly supports our initiatives at the Garden, such as our FoRRGS Plant Sale.

Interested in participating in next year’s FoRRGS exclusive members-only plant sale? Remember to sign up for your FoRRGS membership next year and watch this space for updates in the spring.
