Garden Club 

Garden Club is looking for your Plants!  Do you have some houseplants that are getting out of control and could use a haircut?  Garden Club would love to take some of your cuttings off your hands so that we can root, pot and sell them to help raise money for a springtime project.  If you would like to make a plant donation, simply snip off some stem of a healthy plant, wrap it in a wet paper towel or place it in a cup/jar of water.  Label the plant or cup before bringing it to room A303 and we will take care of the rest. All donated cuttings will be propagated and available for sale during the Fine Arts Night on December 14, so look out for the upcoming sale if you are interested in sprucing up your indoor garden.
