2024 Tarvin Plant Sale

Tarvin Plant Sale 2025 – Plant Donations Wanted.

The Tarvin plant sale, our annual Tarvin Woodlands fundraiser, will be held on Saturday, 10th May – in just a few short weeks' time! It was only when I looked at the calendar that the enormity of this really came home to me. Only a short while left – and so much to be done!

You may remember that last year, rather than having the majority of plants being grown by just a few folk, we asked for our many friends throughout the village and our community to supply the bulk of the plants for sale instead, and the response was excellent – with as many plants on offer as we had ever had! We were so thrilled with the outcome that we have decided to repeat this arrangement for 2025. Now, all we have to do is to make sure that everyone who will help us and ought to know what is happening actually gets to know! This is where TarvinOnLine plays a really important part!

Firstly, Tarvin gardeners,we ask that, as you split your perennials over Easter, please pot on the extra plants for us that are surplus as a result. Just call us (01829 741172) if you need pots. You can also pass on your spare seedlings for which you have no room and you will be able finally to re-home that shrub which has never been what you really wanted. Ideally, we would like at least a dozen plants (of all descriptions) from each of our green-fingered friends, but we really will be grateful for anything that you can donate.

We know that there are plenty of folk out there who really want to support our plant sale but who don't class themselves as gardeners. We'd like your help, too! Perhaps you could encourage your friends and neighbours who ARE gardeners to organise some plants for you to bring along? Or perhaps you could spend just a few bob on one or two packets of the tiny bedding plants that the supermarkets are offering so cheaply now? ALL contributions are really helpful!

The 2025 Plant Sale is on Saturday, 10th May at Tarvin Methodist Churchon Tarvin High Street between 10am and 12 Noon.

Contributions for the sale can be brought along to the Chapel from 9.00am onwards on Friday, 9th May. We'll be there all day, getting things ready for Saturday. Then, on Saturday morning, the front of the Chapel will be taken over by a wealth of plants – there will be shrubs of all descriptions, herbaceous plants just ready for your borders, some bedding plants and lots of vegetables, tomato plants, etc.

Woodland Trustees will be on hand to answer questions and to help carry your purchases to your car. You may be fortunate enough to buy a winning ticket in the raffle! Meanwhile, there will be teas, coffees and cakes, plus the justly famous bacon baps, etc. on sale inside the Chapel. Our plant sales are really enjoyable mornings and have become one of the "events" in the Tarvin Village calendar. Do come along and share that enjoyment, while helping to raise valuable funds for the upkeep of Tarvin's lovely woodland.

If you do have some plants for us, drop them off at
Tarvin Methodist Church from 9.00am onwards on Friday, 9th May.

Please do help us if you can!
