On a personal note: I purchased some plants at the sale and am happy to report that they are thriving! My family enjoyed some basil (from a plant purchased at the sale) in our spaghetti last week, and the marigolds are brightening my backyard patio. I can’t help but smile when I see the cheery flowers in my yard. The plant pickup was so smooth. Thank you for your support of the Food Cupboard.
