Take a look at the updated and evolving ECA web page – www.ecamumclub.org
Your suggestions and comments would be greatly appreciated
It’s a work in progress and for the next few months there will probably be changes every time you log in.
A main goal is to get pictures of our varietals posted.
Now is the time to take inventory of your plants and 2021 growing needs.
Our main growers are busy taking cuttings.
Because we are meeting via zoom we wont have the traditional club plant sale this year.
If you would like to purchase ECA club plant starts please send a list of your wish list to Jan Hunt at [email protected]
We want to be sure that we have inventory of the starts you want to grow.
Payment and delivery will be coordinated the first part of April.
Plant starts can be purchased at the ECA club member price of $3.00 per start.
We are planning a COVID appropriate public plant sale.
Kings mums has sold out their 2021 inventory
There have been many inquiries about our public plant sale
We are excited to report that an on-line ordering option for the public plant sale is in the works
The varietal selections available for on-line purchase will be limited.
For example we will have only 6 spider varietals listed; 6 single varietals; 6 charm varietals; etc.
Our public plant sale starts will be available for curb side pick up only at Volunteer Park Conservatory
on Saturday April 24th between 10 am and 3 pm
We are working closely with VPC on this project.
We need help with advertising suggestions and flyer design. We plan to publicize our public plant sale on our web site and Facebook page.
Volunteer Park Conservatory Friends of the conservatory has also graciously offered to post our plant sale on their social media sites
There will be links to the on line sales site from both our Facebook page and our website.
