Proceeds from our plant sales are the main source of income for our chapter. We support chapter speakers, workshops, the stewardship to restore habitat in our parks, grants, educational outreach, field trips and more. Thanks to the work of CPS chapter volunteers and our customers, 2018 sales raised close to $36,000 for the Chapter.

Some of the specific volunteer coordinator jobs that we need your help to fill or co-chair include publicity, volunteers, site planning, liaison with other agencies, hospitality, plant labels, and donations.  Please email our plant sale co-chairs: Nancy Bowen-Pope nhbowenpope@gmail.com or Yen Flanagin yen.flanagin@yahoo.com for more details and how we can find a role that best fits your interests and talents. With the help of volunteers like YOU, we will have our best plant sale ever.
