This much-loved community event was started in 2014 by long-time CCI Action member Ben Zachrich after realizing, as he began growing starts for his garden, that he could turn his passion for gardening into a way to help his community. "With the plant sale, there's a shared enthusiasm between everyone who supports the sale. Whether it's getting healthy veggies or beautifying their yard, we're bringing people together to address systemic failures and support CCI, and one another."
To date, after it's 10th year in 2025, the sale has netted over $20,000 for CCI Action's organizing! Incredible.
Invite your friends and plan to join us for this great fundraiser sale. If you have half-gallon, or one-gallon pots to donate, please let us know by leaving a message or calling Katie at Iowa CCI Action 515-255-0800.
