BIHS Spring Plant Sale

20 May 2023


Starts: 11:00
Ends: 13:30

Saturday 20 May   11.00 - 1.30    Gordon Memorial Hall  Rosemarkie

Graham Sullivan, Secretary of the Black Isle Horticultural Society, writes

Only a few days to go! Some information about the Sale.

We’ve had many generous and interesting donations of plants from members and friends, and you can download a list of plants from our website http://www.spanglefish.com/blackislehorticulturalsociety/ There will also be a supplementary list posted tomorrow, and there will be other plants as well - people always bring more along for sale on the day. 

At the sale, we won’t put everything out at once, more plants will be put out on the stalls during the sale, so we will have a good selection whenever you arrive.

This year we’re indicating prices by coloured lollipop sticks in the plant pots. This should help keep things simple and speed up the payment process. There will be plenty of notices indicating the prices represented by each colour- if you want to check them in advance, see the picture below.

We can accept card and phone payments as well as cash at the sale.

We will have a supply of boxes and bags, but it will be really helpful if you can bring your own to take plants away.

If you’re coming by car, please park in the public car park off the main street in Rosemarkie in order to leave the Hall parking available for those with limited mobility and for deliveries and collection. Note that the Hall toilets will not be available, but the public toilets close by in the main street are open.

And finally, we’re always looking for extra volunteers to assist in running the Sale – if you feel you can help, please get in touch!

Graham Sullivan
Secretary, Black Isle Horticultural Society

There will be a downloadable list of many of the plants we’ll have at the sale on our website http://www.spanglefish.com/blackislehorticulturalsociety/index.asp about 10 days before the sale, and we’ll be posting updates about some of the plants available on our Facebook page.
