Are you volunteering at the Plant Sale? 

Many club members are old hands as Plant Sale volunteers and some members are new to it. While much has remained the same there are some new features this year, so please have a read.
​

1. Every job has a coordinator who will be in touch with you prior to the sale to inform you of your duties and to answer your questions. Most coordinators will meet with their team on Friday afternoon or Saturday morning to review the duties again, on site. 
2. Set-up Friday and Plant Sale Saturday are both very hectic days. It is not uncommon to find people working underneath tables and on step ladders. To avoid mishaps, volunteers are asked to stay in the area to which they were assigned unless explicitly asked to help in another location. At all times, be mindful of what is going on around you. 
3. This year we would like to create the opportunity for Saturday volunteers to briefly shop for plants if they so wish. This depends entirely on having sufficient volunteers and how crazy busy the day is. Each coordinator will use his or her discretion so please check with your coordinator if you wish to shop. 
4. Volunteers have the option of having unpaid plants held in the holding area until they are able to pay and collect their plants. Please ensure your plants are removed from the holding area by noon.
5. Clean-up: It will make a huge difference if each volunteer could help clean and pack up in their particular area when the sale finishes.  Please follow the instructions of the coordinators.  It goes without saying that our members must only do what is within their physical capacity. No injuries please!
6. Last but not least, meet someone new, have fun, enjoy the day. 

 

And thank you for your participation!
