The 2025 Greens Farms Garden Club
plant sale was a rousing success!
It was held on May 17, 2025 on a cloudy, rain
threatening, but dry, day. We offered 1030 amazing
plants, from 11 digs and countless individual member
plant donations and a most generous donation from
Oliver's, a premier plant vendor here in Fairfield. Twenty-
two cars transported the potted and carefully tended
plants.
Two new sale concepts were introduced: “bargain plants”
significantly discounted at the start of the sale and “one
of a kind” plants that did not have particular descriptive
photos. Wonderful plants at significantly discounted
prices enabled the sale to end with zero inventory. For
the first time, we initiated a plant donation receipt for
donors use on their tax filing similar to receipts given by
other non-profit organizations.
We had amazing member participation in the sale. We
had 12 critical Team Leaders driving our success. 30
active members and three sustainers were at the heart of
the work. The end result was a record breaking fund
raising year and an outstanding achievement for the
Greens Farms Garden Club.
Congratulations to all our members on another successful
plant sale and of course, thanks to our customers, donors
and supporters.
Remarkable people equals remarkable results.
