The sale will take place from 8 AM until noon, with set-up at 7-8 AM. If you so desire, here are two ways in which you can help. First, we ask that you donate daylilies, iris, other perennials and annuals. Please bring registered, bareroot daylilies of good quality that well represent the wonderful world of daylilies. Label them with the usual information (name, hybridizer, year registered, plant height, bloom size, ploidy, and description). Please try to have at least one photo to go with each cultivar. It works well to have a container bearing the plants and the photo attached to the container. Alternatively, you might like to donate iris. These should also be bareroot and labeled with name, type, bloom season and a photo if possible. Other perennials can be brought in containers, but no woody stemmed things like lilac. Annuals are welcome donations too. It is requested by the Master Gardeners that the minimum price be $5, so we may want to do that for ourselves. Only even dollar amounts, please. The second way in which you can help the effort is to attend the Sale, bringing your wallet, credit card or check book. If you have any questions, please contact Heather Harroun. We hope to see you there!
