The Orinda Garden Club plant sale will make its long-awaited return from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 17 at the Orinda Library Plaza. The sale will provide for social distancing, spreading throughout the outdoor venue and will be held rain or shine. In addition to plants, the sale will feature a Garden Marketplace with fun, garden-related products.
With more time at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, garden club members took on plant propagation as a new activity, according to OGC member Caroline La Voie. The club held propagation workshops last fall, in addition to their regular workshops on tomato seed saving, succulent propagation, and plant division and cutting. Members brought cuttings, succulents, and bulbs from their gardens to Zoom workshops to learn how to propagate them. Members have continued to nurture their cuttings over the winter in preparation for the sale in April.
In addition to plants propagated by OGC members, there will also be over 30 varieties of tomatoes, 13 varieties of peppers (hot and sweet), squash, beans and herbs. The club also plans to provide a composting demo, a Firewise landscaping exhibit, and a conservation exhibit on creating native habitats for pollinators. The last plant sale held by the club was 15 years ago. Proceeds of the sale will go toward educational projects.
