TREMONT GARDENERS SALE


Dear Friends:

Every year, the Tremont Gardeners sell flowers to help fund the planting of trees, flowers, and mulch in Lincoln Park, as well as other beautification projects in the Tremont neighborhood. Please help us make this neighborhood event a success.

1. Tell 5 people. Forward this e-mail to family, friends, and neighbors. Our success has been selling to those that are connected to either you or Tremont. We have below-market prices along with first-class flowers. Please encourage people you know to support the garden sale.

2. Unload the Truck – At 8:00 am we are meeting in Lincoln Park to unload the truck. Many hands will make this big project a lot easier. Just helping out for an hour would be a big help and it will make you an honorary Tremont gardener (and offer you the first pick of flowers coming off the truck).

We have over 400 flats and quarts for our sale this year. We are offering tomatoes and herbs this year as well. We also are selling bags of mulch that is some of the finest "food" your garden can get. It's a mixture of plant material, a little manure and lots of great, organic nutrients for your flower beds. It is very similar to sweet peet, if you know what that is. Every bag we sell – at $5 per bag – means the Tremont gardeners get one bag for free to use in Lincoln Park, the Roundabout and the Train Avenue and Wade Aveue Gateways.


SAVE THE DATE AND SEE YOU, YOUR FAMILIES, OR NEIGHBORS ON MAY 16TH. Rain or Shine. Come early and get the best selection. Thank you for your support.
