Linda Burshia Battle, MG Foundation President
It's hard to believe that the flurry of the plant sale is over. What an amazing accomplishment this annual fundraiser is for the Whatcom County Master Gardener Foundation. Through all the planning, orchestration and hard work the true spirit of altruism and volunteerism shine through. Great appreciation and admiration go out to all those who helped with this endeavor.
The funds raised will go towards, most importantly, helping fund Beth's position. She is the captain of our ship and works diligently to keep us on course. The funds also will provide some support to each new class and to their projects. Another important piece would be the ongoing programs and gardens. Teaching, sharing and volunteering all go a tremendous way towards promoting, and improving our Master Gardener Program. Thanks to all!
There are many fun adventures planned this summer. Hope to see you on the bus.
Enjoy this beautiful spring.
2016 Master Gardeners
Plant Sale
Once again, a huge thank
you to all the volunteers who worked at the 2016 Master Gardeners Plant
Sale. Eighty five people used Sign Up
Genius to volunteer and several people signed up for more than one activity
which was very much appreciated! Even though we had a smaller number of plants
this year, the sale was still a success. The approximate net income was
$13,190. The plant sale committee met yesterday and we have lots of good ideas
on how to make the 2017 plant sale even more successful.
