Spring Garden Day—The Best Ever!!
By Kay Gill, FROGS Board Member and Spring Garden Day Co-Chair
FROGS Membership Tent
THANK YOU for participating in FROGS’ 2026 Spring Garden Day on May 16. Whether you baked goods for the bake sale; donated your time to direct traffic, load plants, serve as a cashier, or greet guests; bought plants, books, and baked goods; provided financial support; or just enjoyed the festivities on a gorgeous spring day, you were instrumental to the success of Spring Garden Day. Together, we raised over $29,000 to support the beautiful gardens at Green Spring. That is a record!
Ribbit and FriendSome specifics to document our success. We counted 2,244 visitors to the gardens. We had over 30 vendors and exhibitors, including one food truck and one specialty coffee truck. The bake sale earned over $5,000, another record. And the plant shop sold almost $7,000. Of course, we could not have ordered a more perfect day weatherwise, always a plus but beyond our control.
FROGS cannot thank enough the terrific staff at Green Spring who contributed countless hours before, during, and after this event to ensure its success. Jim Serfass, site manager for less than two months, survived trial by fire at his first Spring Garden Day and looked like the pro he is.
Mark your calendar now for 2027 Spring Garden Day—May 15. We hope to see you then!
