Pre-Order for the Plant Sale!
Every year, some gardeners at our plant sale find that their favorite choices have already sold out by the time they can make it to the sale. To remedy this problem, this year we are allowing gardeners to order plants from our plant sale ahead of time and pick up the plants Saturday May 5th or Sunday May 6th between 10am and 1pm at 1518 Shadford in Ann Arbor. Because of the huge number of plant varieties available at the sale and the relatively small number of customers, we decided not to offer these plants through our Marketplace. If you are interested in ordering plants, this is what you need to do:
Choose the plants you would like from the online list.
Print our order form and fill in your name, contact information, and the plants you wish to order. We ask that you print our form so we can use the numbered codes on the forms and the plant tags to fill your order. This is important because we are growing so many varieties and not all our volunteers are familiar with their names.
Mail the order form and a check payable to "Project Grow" for your order. The plants are $3 each. Our address is: Project Grow · P.O. Box 130293 · Ann Arbor, MI 48113
Pick up your order on Saturday May 5th or Sunday May 6th between 10am and 1pm at 1518 Shadford in Ann Arbor. These will be the only days and hours during which orders may be picked up.
To make this work, we ask that our customers follow a few simple requests. Please read these limitations carefully, and if you cannot meet these simple requirements, please do not pre-order plants, but come to the sale in person to make your purchases!
You must pay in advance by check by April 21st. Orders that are received later than April 21st or are not paid for will not be pulled and saved for you.
You must come to the 1518 Shadford to pick up your order. Orders which are not picked up during the assigned days and hours will be lost and you will receive no refund.
There is always the possibility of disasters and crop failures with plants, but we will try to keep the list up to date if this happens. The peppers and basil will be started in late February, and the tomatoes in mid-March. The plants will be large, in 3.5" plastic pots, and organically grown in organic soil mix and using only organic fertilizer. Whenever possible, the plants are grown from organically grown seeds saved by local gardeners.
