    1. Hi Brenda, We hope to do so, yes. However, because the booths are spaced out more than usual this year, we may not get a space. As a Daily (Occasional) vendor, we are not given highest priority. If we do not get a space, we will distribute pre-paid orders form our west-end condo parking lot, as we did last year. If we are at the market we will bring in orders and have some spring flowers to buy there.

  3. The Market Manager was going to let me know of any cancellations by Monday, May 3rd. I haven’t heard from her, so we are going with the Parking Lot distribution point plan.

  4. Hello Trish

    Do you ship plant material?
    I left the “big smoke”, and High Park, and am down in Norfolk Co. in the heart of Carolinian Canada.

    1. I won’t know what winter losses I have had until I can assess what is and is not starting into growth. I expect to have my first Plant Availability list published on the web site on or about the first of May. You can start to send me Wish Lists in mid-April. To keep up-to-date on Plant Availability, use the Follow feature in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen.
