JANET VAN CAMP Special to The Standard

Blackstock Nestleton United Church is again hosting its annual plant and 'boot' sale on Saturday, May 11th, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Church's parking lot. If your flower beds need to be perked up with some new perennials, this is the place to find them! We also hope to have tomato plants and rhubarb for sale.

Donations of perennials and house plants are gratefully accepted and may be dropped off at the Church on Friday, May 10th, in the morning between 9:30 and 11:30 a.m. or in the afternoon from 2 to 4 p.m. The "Boot" Sale allows you to reserve a parking spot and sell items from the trunk of your vehicle. For further information, or if you need someone to dig out your plants, please call Kelly at 905-986-4917. New this year: BBQ hotdogs available courtesy of Chef Rob!
