Yes, I do realize that I just made the noun "garden" to a verb. But it is how I felt after a week of helping out with two Plant Sales in one week!
At the RBG, I was overenthusiastic: not only I did I help out with the Perennial plants, I had to be involved in the Native plants as well. I could not possibly pass up such a learning opportunity.
The bottom picture : part of the Native Plants table; just inside the hoop was the "shade plants". We did well in this category alone: $3,000 worth of sales!
The top picture: part of the perennial tables. A whole greenhouse had the annual plants including herbs (no veggies).
After spending 3 half days helping out at the RBG, the rest of the week (Friday & Saturday) was spent helping out with the Garden Club's Plant Sale. Those 2 days were more intense and were full days because there were less volunteers involved.
Both events were exhausting but enjoyable. I was able to use my gardening knowledge as I helped out fellow gardeners with their inquiries. From what I learned at the RBG Native Plants, I was then able to convince people to buy my native plants at the Garden Club Sale.
All gardened out does not mean I am not in my own garden, however!
