Recently, the Bethesda Community Garden Club had its 66th Annual Plant Sale.  Though, it was time consuming and hard work, I enjoyed being the chairperson and getting to know the members much better.  Especially I relished the attitude of the customers who were polite, respectful, friendly, and treated us as the experts.  I appreciated that attitude and would have loved to see it more from buyers who come to Open Houses. 

 Based on the experience of other plant sales that week, we were concerned about the possibility that we, too, will not have many buyers.  However, we had a fantastic turnout.  Our loyal customers were there before 7:00 am scouting the treasures.  One woman was a bit late and was disappointed to not find a specific type of plant that she wanted.  Since she was so friendly and a good attitude sure makes me go out of my way to help solve problems; I offered to get her the plants and I did after the rains stopped.  I make it my goal to do nice things for kind, friendly individuals. Tune in for the other attitude.
