SUMMIT GARDEN CLUB
**Summit Middle School Garden Club Vegetable Plant Sale**
Join us for a fantastic opportunity to grow your own garden while supporting a great cause! On May 17th, from 9-11 AM, Summit Middle School Garden Club is hosting a Vegetable Plant Sale featuring a variety of plant starts, including a variety of tomatoes and cucumbers, hot and sweet peppers, zucchini, kale, and chard. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting out, our plant sale has something for everyone!
All proceeds from the sale will go towards funding the Garden Club’s growing season next year and supporting the Johnston Partnership, making your contribution even more impactful. The sale operates on a donation basis with a minimum $5 contribution.
Swing by Summit Middle School and help us cultivate a greener community while nurturing the next generation of gardeners. We can’t wait to see you there! Weather permitting we will be outside the front entrance. If it rains, we will be set up inside the main entryway of the building.
Don’t need plants but still want to donate? Please send cash or check (made out to Summit Middle School) in an envelope labeled “Garden Club” to the Summit office!
