* All attendees must wear masks and maintain 6 ft. distance from other gardeners/visitors.
* All plants are available on a sliding scale – if there’s a stick/label in it, then you pay from $3-$5/each…you get to decide.
* We’re using the honor system, so you pick out your plants, decide what you are going to pay, then either leave payment in donation bin or pay via CashApp.
* Green donation bin is located near the garden entrance by the turquoise tool shed. We accept cash or checks (payable to Hood Huggers International).
* Using CashApp? You’ll need to download the app and set up your account ahead of time, then click $, enter amount, click pay, and enter $HoodHuggers.

As always, we are grateful for your patronage/support, happy that our little plants get to find a home in our community, and will use the proceeds from the sale to support expanded programming in the Peace Gardens.
