Volunteers In Corrections

RCCF/Volunteers in Corrections Spring Flower Sale 2024:

 

Happy spring 2024!! The RCCF nursery has been really busy planting 1000’s of baskets, pots and flats for the 2024 season. The industry as a whole is back to normal after a few difficult seasons of shortages and transportation issues. We will be growing a little bit more of everything this year as we try to set another “new record” for sales. Thank you all so Much for the patronage last season and prior seasons! We greatly appreciate it. I also want to take the time to thank ALL the volunteers and people that work to make this sale a success. RS Eden, the Volunteers in Corrections (VIC), the Ramsey County Master Gardeners group, and my family and friends.  All have provided many hours of work in the springtime, including basically running the sale.

 

Here are the dates and times for the 2024 sale:

Typically we are open 18-20 days before we get to the end of the sale. The June dates are only if needed.

 

We will be growing many of the same sizes we have in the past, plus a few newer ones. We have slightly increased the number of 21” pots this season, after reducing it last year. There will be 10”, 11”, 13”, 16” and 21” pots, and 10”, 12” and 14” hanging baskets as well as flats and single small pots. All pricing will remain the same as last year. Price list will be provided at the entry point of the sale.

 

We will have many colorful mixed varieties, mixed species planters, as that is what we do the best here.

​

As a side note, people often ask what we do with anything left. First of all, we try to sell as much as possible, however, any remaining containers are donated to various Ramsey County entities. With the help of the Honorable Judge Shawn Bartsh of Ramsey County, we were able to donate to 10+ organizations in the St. Paul Area. I thank the Honorable Judge for her assistance!!
