Keith and Maureene, a retired couple, are avid gardeners and propagators. In April and October each year Keith and Maureene open their house and hold a huge plant sale. The sale is aptly called the Huge Plant Sale.

All proceeds from the Huge Plant Sale are donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF). Last year Keith and Maureen raised just over $12 000.00

Plant Sale April 2017[2]

 

 

Pardon the pun, but the Huge Plant Sale keeps growing each year. In 2017 there will be 1500 plants for sale and over 300 varieties. Even if you have visited the Huge Plant Sale before, ITC recommends you visit again. Keith likes to mix it up and you never know what you will find in his garden!!!

There is something for everyone:

  • Plants
  • Shrubs
  • Small Trees
  • Fig Trees
  • Native Plants
  • Succulents
  • Herbs.

The prices range from $2.00 to $20.00 – the average plant price is around $5.00.

Organising a charity plant sale is not for the faint-hearted, Keith works 40 hours a week propagating and tending to his plants. On plant sale day they work non-stop from the moment they get up. By the end of the day, they are exhausted and their feet ache, but the pain is worth it knowing they have raised money for breast cancer research. They could not hold the sale, without the help of their grandchildren, who travel up from Bawley Point each sale to help them.
So please put 9 April 2017 in your diary as a date to grab some bargains. Let’s help Keith and Maureene raise a record amount of money.
