The wind and rain could not stop the Driftwood Garden Club members from welcoming hundreds of people to their 2025 Plant Sale. Proceeds from the sale help fund the landscaping and maintenance of the Abbot Public Library gardens, as well as our civic gardening projects at Farrell Court in Marblehead.
It takes a coordinated effort of many people to orchestrate this amazing plant sale each year. We are grateful to our hardworking members, especially our Plant Sale Committee, as well as the Marblehead Masonic Hall for hosting the event. A shout out to Louise from Every Little Breeze Catering for providing a delicious luncheon for our members after the sale ended.
We would also like to thank the Marblehead Garden Center for partnering with us each year by providing the colorful annuals, herbs and hanging baskets. Between the tables of carefully tended perennials from our Dig & Divide, to the specialty tables (Dahlias, Woodland Plants, Mother’s Day gift orchids), and the pop of color with the hanging baskets and annuals, there was something for everyone.
Our members were kept busy answering questions and helping people select plants, while member Ginny VonRueden was at her Window Box display helping people arrange various plants for their own planters at home.
We especially thank our gardening customers, both long-time friends and first-time buyers, who came to our sale. We love seeing everyone’s happy faces as they leave with a box, or two, of plants to transplant into their own gardens. With our plant sale over, the gardening season has officially begun!
