HORTICULTURAL NEEDS YOUR ASSISTANCE


In preparation for the PLANT SALE, Horticultural is requesting members and friends to donate the following:

  • Form Pots Any Size and Any Number. The black plastic pots will be used to divide and transplant plants and start new plants.
  • Screening. Don't throw away Hurricane Helene/Milton damaged lanai, window or pool screening. Recycle it! This will be used in the bottom of pots for drainage.
