Ideas for Plant Propagation
This list is not all inclusive, but can give some direction for those who wish to contribute plant material to the sale.
Plant Labels
The new waterproof labels that we tried out last year worked so well, that we plan to continue using them! This labeling method is a timesaver for everyone and a plus for shoppers. You’ll just need to have your potting containers clean of dust/dirt before you place the label on it for them to adhere properly. Remember that your labels should already be on your containers when you drop them off for the sale.
As in the past, you may request your labels to be printed for you, or you can pick up blank labels and print them yourself using the Plant Label Templates below. We have a huge compilation of plants whose descriptions have already been researched and saved in this template format ready for you to print. If you can not find your particular plant, there is a blank template file that you can type your information into! The blank labels are available for pick up at the Extension Office or at the monthly Master Gardener association meeting.
If you need help with research or printing of labels, please contact Judy Rice. She will coordinate printing and pick up.
- Simply email your plant list to Judy at trice@eplus.net

If you plan to bring 15 or more of 1 type of plant/color, please take a minute to record that information in this group document by clicking the button below. This will help us plan for space, labels, and will also be an aid for you all as you decide what plants you would like to bring. Make sure to include flower color. There are some plants that we can not have enough of. Ex: Hosta, Hellebore, Ferns, Herbs, House Plants, Vegetables
For example: If someone signs up to bring 30 white yarrow, you may decide to bring yellow yarrow or pink yarrow!
Plant Drop Off Times
Parking lot of West TN Research & Education Center 605 Airways Blvd.
Wednesday May 3rd 11am-6pm
Thursday May 4th 9am-1pm
When you pull into the parking lot immediately on the right you will see a drop off sign on the sidewalk by a row of hollies. You will see wagons and volunteers who will help you unload your plants and bring them into the building. We will NOT be going into the building through the main entrance because we want to be respectful of employees and others who work there. So, be sure to stop at the drop off point and let the volunteers assist you.
Please bring plants weed free, well watered and correctly labeled.
