When tallied, the CT Hort Annual Plant Sale & Auction came down to 500 Plants, 125 members and friends, 40 donors, 35 trips to nurseries, 28 volunteers, and three auctioneers. Which means record sales of more than $10,000 to fund our Scholarship and Cares Grants programs! Thank you all for making it happen. This allows us to continue to offer scholarships and grants, thus serving our mission to perpetuate a love of plants, the environment, and the art and science of gardening. (fb)
