We did it again! 

With the crowd loudly counting down the final seconds, Hydrangeas Galore was off and running. By noon, we were completely sold out with over 800 hydrangeas having a new home and the new PKP garden center building $7,085 closer to being built. At 11:00 a.m., we were looking at a bunch of left over Annabelles, Hayes Starbursts and a couple of Darunas. Our power sellers Ken Goad and Terri Black went into high gear and by the time they were done, they had sold every last one of them. Ken’s mantra was that it was a good idea to plant in “threes” and convinced our customers to “buy two more”.

What a group of volunteers! I know the day of the sale is a lot of fun, but all of that preliminary heaving and carrying those heavy pots, getting down on the ground to clean up the plants and weeding the hydrangea garden are tough. Some of you valiantly worked two and some even three days on this event…and then went home and baked so we could continue to be treat-happy volunteers!

Thank you on behalf of the PKP Board and the ARC Recreation and Parks Department. You are appreciated by them, you are appreciated by our community and you are greatly appreciated by me.
