Bolton Community Spring Plant Sale, Bake sale and Car Wash

Thank you to all who supported Smilie Memorial School in previous years by donating or buying perennials or garden vegetables. We're back again this year with tomatoes grown by Bolton farmer Tucker Andrews, and MARIGOLDS, zinnias, basil, sun gold tomatoes and zinger hybiscus grown by Smilie school kids!

This sale is being organized by the Smilie Community Association, and all proceeds will go to benefit the Smilie Memorial School.

What: Bolton Community Spring Plant Sale, Bake Sale and Car Wash
When: Saturday, May 13th, 2023, 9-11am
Where: Plant & Bake Sale - Smilie Memorial School grounds (next to the playground); car wash (TBD)
Why:
+ It's gardening season!
+ Come purchase vegetable, flower, herb or perennial plants at low cost to add to your garden
+ Come share the bounty of your own garden (perennials that keep reproducing! Extra seedlings you planted but don't need yourself)
+ Enjoy local baked goods while you peruse the plants
+ Have your car washed by our 4th grade class to support their end of year field trip
+ Come support our local school!

DONATIONS: We are requesting donations of plants (PERENNIALS! Also peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, herbs, other vegetables, flowers, etc). We know many of you will have extra seedlings left over from your own gardens, or perennials that you are looking to pass on.

Please note that across the state, some gardeners are reporting the appearance of jumping worms. Before donating plants to our sale, we ask that you read and attend to these guidelines to minimize the spread of this invasive species. Thank you for loving your neighbor in this way!
