A summer rolls around, we wanted to take a moment to extend a sincere thank you to Paramount Plant Co for their continued generosity in helping us pull off our annual plant sale! They graciously donated soil and gave us discounts on many items to be able to make our plant sale turn out the way it did!
Thanks to everyone who came out to purchase plants and help support our program! We loved getting feedback on what all people would like to see more of for next year!
