Thankfully it was a sunny morning as this was to be "Plant Sale Day" for Glemsford Gardening Club and we wanted plenty of customers to turn out, so we can raise a little money for the club.

Members of the committee were at the Church Hall early to set up the tables and arrange what we had to offer. Members had sent along plants they had raised at home from seed or cuttings as well as plants from their gardens and bedding plants. We also had fertiliser and compost in small quantities for sale. Apart from plants there was a table of bric-a-brac and one of home-made cakes, also flower arrangements and a cup of tea or coffee if required.

Well before opening time, a small queue started to form and when the doors opened they were in with a rush. The first half-hour was very busy with all the bedding plants and most of the others being bought, and as for the cakes, well, they went like the proverbial "hot cakes"!

Eventually, it all slowed down and we started to pack the remaining items and leave the hall clean.

This is an annual event which proved to be well worth the effort as £100 was added to our funds.
