The plant sale was another great success due to wonderful community support. We couldn’t handle the volume of customers and plants
without the help of all our dedicated volunteers. We missed our long-time super volunteer Keith Chadd this year, seen here at the 2017 plant
sale, but other folks stepped up and we managed one of our biggest sales to date.
Several vendors and over 33,000
plants, 700 customers, 25 volunteers,
and 20 staff came together to make
this event successful in providing
low-cost environmentally-friendly
plants to our residents.
Our sales of 33,837 native plants represents a 20% increase over last year and our 781 customers is a 55% increase! Our efforts to reach a broader audience and be more inclusive are really paying off.
Thanks for supporting our mission
to make Pierce County (and
neighboring counties’) lands greener
and healthier.
Please share photos and stories of
your plantings on our Facebook page
or Instagram!
If you missed our sale this time,
