Spring Sale FOOD DRIVE REPORT:
Even with the rain, our Spring Sale & Food Drive was very successful! We missed (slightly) our goal for 500 lbs. of food donations but exceeded our goal for monetary donations!!
Alex estimates we gathered 350 lbs of Food, and along with our own donation of $425, we sent the Food Bank a total monetary donation of $1,092.00! Yay!!!
Thank you ALL for your generous participation in this year's Drive!

Dear Gardening Friends...Spring is at the door!
Mother Nature really threw us a curveball with this cold snap, but we're row-covering the thousands of Tomato, Pepper & Eggplant babies every night to keep them safe. In addition to these super-popular items, we will also have Summer Squash, Beans and Cucumbers ready by then, too, along with Lettuces, Herbs & Edible Flowers!
HEADS-UP FOR SOME IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
1. DONATION = DISCOUNT!
The Food Drive aspect of this Event is extremely important to Alex and me. It's something we've done in our businesses for the last 20 years. We suspect you might come buy Tomatoes anyway, but we hope the 10% Discount will encourage you to dig deep for the many Angelenos who are hurting; sadly 1 in every 7 L.A. households is "food insecure". Together, we can make a difference. At the end of the Event, we personally donate 5% of the profits as our own monetary gift.
So, please help us reach our 2018 Goal ~
500 lbs. of Food AND $500 in Monetary Donations
Please remember: No Donation, No Discount.
*And since, unfortunately, it doesn't go without saying, please don't bring canned or packaged food whose "sell by" dates have expired. Thanks!
*Also, if you're going to make a monetary donation, please have your cash ready or a check already made payable to Los Angeles Food Bank. Note: we cannot "add it to your total". It will really expedite our check-out process if you are prepared ahead of time. We'll have a third Cashier this year, but you know that line can get long!
2. PAYMENT METHOD ~
If possible, we would very much appreciate your paying for your order with Cash or a Personal Check. The credit card fees really add up on a weekend like this!! If you can't, you can't, but if you can, we're grateful!
3. PRE-ORDER PICK UPS ~
If you have placed a Pre-Order (which is still possible to do), you may contact us to pick it up by the end of next week (say, Friday or Saturday). We will be preparing the Orders on Thursday, and once they're set, we really need them to go, as we are super short on room this year!
Note: Discounts are only given the days of the Sale and do not apply to website orders.
4. NO PET POLICY ~
Please, please do not bring your dogs to this Event. We say this all the time, but someone inevitably brings their pup(s) and all Hell breaks loose. Our boys are pretty territorial, so let's give 'em their space, please.
5. NOT A TIME FOR CONSULTS ~
We hope you understand that this Event usually never affords us the time we would typically enjoy chatting and consulting like we do in individually scheduled appointments. Last year, we rang up nearly 200 Sales over the two days...going as fast as we could, and still people had to wait longer than was comfortable.
6. REFRESHMENTS & EXTRA STAFF (30% more!) ~
We know a couple of Cookies and someone to direct you can really smooth the day! It takes almost 5 months to prepare for this season's launch, and we want you to bring your friends and have a great time.
