Plant Sale: Sun 11th May 08
The annual plant sale was held at Wellesbourne village hall with over 50 people in attendance. Thanks to Howard Richards who provided some of the photos on this page.
Bidding was lively - starting with £2 paid for Evoca Salmon plants. This was followed by bids of £3 for Alf Ramsey - the popular Giant Dec.
The highest bid was for a Pom Pon Hallmark - pink in colour. This soared to £4.60 per plant! Such are the vagaries of the 'market' - I paid £1.70 each for 3 plants of Moor place, also a Pom Pon.
Plants other than Dahlias were on sale. Here we can see Ron (the chairman) explaining how large his special begonias will grow, and at such a bargain price. I think the most unusual item sold was some 'organic' Rhubarb, with a wine recipe attached!
