Santa Rosa Garden Club

The Club ran a successful annual plant sale in April 2021- The Club had 25-30 volunteers preparing and growing plants for the sale, preparing the actual sale, working the tables on the day of the sale as well as members available to discuss with buyers what the plants needs are, best ways and places to plant and grow the plants. The Club made $2,122 in income on the sale. All plants not sold were donated to a local school for their plant sales. The Club worked jointly with the Redwood Empire Rose Society and they sold rose plants as well. In March 2021 The Club had a special event with author Robert Kourik.
