I got there at 9:05 and the line was wayyyyy out the door! Before I even got close to the door they came out saying they were already out of the Plum Trees. They only had one ’sign-in’ sheet (old school…pen and paper). You had to sign in (one at a time), then advance to the next table to tell them which trees you were interested in. They gave you two tickets of your choice (or what was still available) for the specific trees you wanted. Then we had to wait about 15 minutes for the first “class” to have their presentation. Once it was over, we were ushered into a classroom for the 15 minutes powerpoint presentation on how to plant/care for our trees. Once that was over, we went out the back door and showed our tickets to get the corresponding trees. It was 10:05 when I left and by then the line was gone. They ran out of trees very quick!!
I didn’t get any trees either.
Very popular event with lots of people in line in spite of threatening weather.
I’ll get there earlier next year!
Bummed out they were out of trees by 10am. Disappointed to say the least.
