Beside plants, what you can find at the Nehalem Bay Garden Club Plant Sale this Saturday is a raffle and an activity for kids to keep them occupied while you shop. The children’s activity is on Saturday only. The raffle will continue on Sunday with the winners announced at the close of the sale on noon on Saturday.
A new item has been added to the raffle! It’s a crepe myrtle catawba tree, which makes 4 things to choose from. Other raffle items include a basket of garden goodies, an outdoor palm tree and a garden statue. Tickets are $5 each or 6 for $20. Proceeds are donated to local organizations that share the Club’s mission. Pictures are of 3 of the 4 raffle items.
