Donors receive information about the GPD plant sale at the collection site. Extra potting soil and pots are available at the sites. Digging crews are available for donors who cannot physically dig plants or have a large quantity of plants. Community gardeners fill out wish lists of plants needed in their community gardens and neighborhood green spaces. The lists are sent to Gateway Greening and matched with donations as closely as possible.
Volunteers assist community gardeners in packing up the plants.
Plants are planted immediately in community gardens in ornamental borders, butterfly gardens or entrance plots. Donors and volunteers are eligible to come to the GPD plant sale. Proceeds are used for waterlines, fences, and tools for Gateway Greening new and expanded projects. Seeds and seedlings are also needed.
