Periodically, we hold Potting Parties where selected customers come help us pot up sprouts and seedlings we've been growing and germinating at the nursery.
This coming Saturday, March 20, we're going to have our first one of the year. Later this Spring, we're planning several more parties, so if you want to be included, please contact us via email (see below).In return for helping us pot up plants, you earn one plant for every 5 plants you pot up, among the materials we're potting up that day, shared pro-rata among the day's participants. We provide training, soil, pots, training and materials, plus snacks and drinks.
You provide your own lunch, you bring your own potting tools (soil scoops or trowels) and you get some great plants to take home. Typically, people leave with $200+ worth of plants, based on a day's work effort.
Please
email us at info@cycads.com if you would like to reserve your spot to join in the fun at our next potting party, and get some great plants.
Since space is limited, and want to accommodate as many friends as possible, we ask that you please confirm with us that you would like to participate
before you visit. That way, we can have the right amount of supplies, snacks and drinks. Also, we can make sure everyone is trained to do this well.
Thanks.
