Plant sale to benefit Una Vida

We’re wrapping up another event here at The Deviled Eggery, where friends new and old met to support Una Vida, an organization that offers food and other support to hundreds of Petaluma families every month.

With a team of 15 volunteers, more than 75 visitors, and over 1,200 plants propagated, germinated, watched over, and watered with love by Deviled Eggery advisor and Garden Network Coordinator Lamar Shahbazian, we raised $1,000 for Una Vida and had great fun doing it! 

Kids painted rocks and families picnicked. Gardners purchased plants via donations to Una Vida, and folks of all ages dressed up like scarecrows to have their pictures taken. We made gorgeous crowns of flowers while others planted their own flats or purchased seedlings ready for their garden beds.

We really appreciate all the time and effort Lamar spent executing this event. She learned a lot in the process. If you’re interested in learning how to grow large quantities of plants from seeds and you don’t know where to begin, read Lamar’s blog, where she elaborates on the lessons she learned.
