I was surprised to read that the RPGG moved the sale to a much more obscured location.  I considered an incredible and high visitation site on Jarvis extremely wise.  Why move to the more obscure and difficult to park area by the Presbyterian Church at Greenleaf & Greenview?  Is it still possible to reconsider or perhaps sponsor a second Sale on Jarvis in late July or August?

Hi Kevin - The annual Garden of Treasures Sale & Fundraiser hasn't been moved.  It will still take place at Jarvis Square at the end of September.  If you check the RPGG Program & Events page (see 3rd hyperlink down on the left side of the website) you will see the complete season of events. This spring sale is new and is happening because the RPGG was the recepient of a donation of plants from the Botanic Garden so we are using the opportunity to raise funds for 2010 community garden projects.  We will only be selling plants donated by the CBG and some members who have some spring plantings they are donating.  Everything stays the same for the fall sale.

I am glad to hear it.  However, the Jarvis location seems to attract more attention.  Why not find a second location that has the same sort of captive audience? It was just a thought.
