Got a Yard? Got Clients With a Yard? Plant Sale This Weekend!!

Guest Blogger:  Valerie Boen

An Exclusive 2-day Sale of Nursery Stock, Plants, flowers and Sod at Wholesale Prices

* Why is this important to builders? All of the materials you need to landscape a yard will be in one location. The prices will be cheaper than you can find anywhere. All of our inventory is donated, so we are really selling everything at wholesale prices. Our main contributor is the wholesale outfit that supplies trees and shrubs to Lowe's and Fred Meyer. And they will be available to you at the same prices that these large chains pay for them.

Our Inventory will include lace leaf maple trees, arborvitae and boxwoods, among many other varieties of nursery stock and flowers.

* Who has ever bought a new lawn at a plant sale? For the first time Willamette Turf Inc. a locally owned turf company out of Brooks, OR is offering an unbelievable deal on sod.

You may purchase up to 1000sqft of sod at 15 cents per square foot. You have up to one year to make arrangements with Willamette Turf for pick up or delivery of your sod. You may purchase additional sod at 28 cents per square foot, which would be their normal wholesale price. This is a screaming deal! Willamette Turf Inc will donate back the majority of the each sale to our fundraiser. Click the link below to learn more about their products.

Plant Sale is located on the corner of C Street and N Water Street in Silverton (in front of Subway)

Fundraiser is to benefit St. Paul Church Youth Group

Friday June 3rd 4pm-9pm


Saturday June 4th 9am-6pm

Come with your trailer or truck. I don't want any plants left when we are done! Last year I had 30 arborvitae, 15 Otto Lukens (hedge), 3 large evergreen trees, and various other plants left over. I gave them all to one builder for $100 just to get my lot cleaned.
Contact: Valerie Boen 503-871-1667 if you have questions, or to order sod in the event you can't attend the sale

SAR Community Fund Gives $125,000 To Help Salem Children

How far will this go to show that Salem REALTORS give back to our community? With a little help from our friends (that be you all) we collectively can make this happen.

A Raffle for 5 Vacation Packages with Travel

We need your help to keep cost down so more of the money goes to the Children.

Do You Have A Vacation Condo or Timeshare?

Will you donate a week to SARCF for the Raffle?
(A Tax Deduction?)

If not a week, how about a weekend?

The more prizes we offer, the easier it will be to get people to buy tickets as they will have a better chance to win.

The plan is to offer 5 full week trips to Hawaii, Mexico, etc. and then 5 to 10 smaller local week or weekend that do not include travel.

Depending on the prizes, we sell 15,000 tickets for $10 or if we get enough prizes 20,000 tickets. That brings in $150,000 or $200,000.

Do You Have Something To Donate?

Diaper Drive for Family Tree Relief Nursery

Diaper Drive for Family Tree Relief Nursery
Posted by Lynne Carroll-Iverson on May 18, 2010, 11:56 am

Wines Realty as a part of our community involvement program,
is sponsoring a diaper drive for the

Family Tree Relief Nursery

The Family Tree Relief Nursery is a community based child abuse prevention program, providing early intervention services at no cost to high-risk Linn & Benton County families with children under the age of six.

Relief Nurseries work to strengthen the family unit as the best way to promote the physical, social, emotional, spiritual and intellectual development of children.
Experience shows that most parents, given the appropriate knowledge and resources, will freely provide the nurturing love and care their children need.
Wines Realty is asking you to join us in our effort to provide a necessary element of caring for young children, thus relieving some of the financial burden the Family Tree Relief Nursery incurs providing this valuable service to our community.

Simply drop off a package or packages of diapers at the Wines Office

Wines Realty
110 3rd Av SE
Albany Oregon.

Wines Realty will package and deliver the diapers to Family Tree Relief Nursery


For more information please contact us at
