Plant Sale Information and Call for Volunteers

 Batavia Plain Dirt Gardeners, we are getting ready for our 2021 Plant Sale, to be held in two locations, one on the east side of Batavia, and one on the west side of Batavia. Our plant sale will be on Saturday, May 8 from 9:00 AM - noon, and set up will be on Friday, May 7.  Please let Doris know when you are available to help and at which location you will be helping. Give her a call at (630) 482-2572 or send an email to olgctrout@gmail.com

Our two locations are: 

East Side: 1168 Pine Street, Batavia — Linda Sonner’s home

West Side: 415 Maple Lane, Batavia - Nancy Hollmeier’s home

Of course, we are hoping you have some plants to donate to our sale. Now is the time to check your garden to see what you might be able to donate. As always, please pot your donations with enough soil and keep them watered so they are in good shape for the sale. Include plant identification sticks in your pots so our customers know what they are buying. 


Remember, we are looking for a variety of plants, so please limit donations to no more than 10 plants of any one variety. If you are in need of pots for your donations, several of our members have them available. You may contact Diana Sharp (630) 879-7578 for empty potsand she will let you know where you can get them.


A few more things about the plant sale…
Do you need help digging and potting your plants?
Do you need help getting your plants to the sale locations?
Do you have wagons that we can use to help our customers get their plants to their vehicles?
If your answer to any of these questions is YES, please contact Doris at (630) 482-2572 or send an email to olgctrout@gmail.com
