On Friday during the 2010 sale, we were visited by a KSTP Channel 5 cameraman. Here’s the result of his work.
What can you do with a shopping cart and a video camera? (No children were involved in the making of this video.)
If you're curious about what the whole sale looks like, this video shows it in a slow pan from the west end of the building (looking over the roses) to the north side where the perennials are located along the back of the room, and then around past the annuals to the south side of the room. It's 40 seconds long.
During the 2007 sale, we did a time-lapse photography video of the sale, starting with set up on Monday night. Note: There is no sound for the first several seconds, so don’t worry if you hear nothing until the titles end.
Remember, this view of the sale only shows about 20-25 percent of the indoor sale floor, focusing primarily on the native wildflower and herb sections, with the hanging baskets and vegetables in the background. (You can just see the edge of the annuals, and you can’t see the climbers, roses, perennials or shrubs at all.)
Friends School Plant Sale is a fund-raising event sponsored by the Friends School of Minnesota in Saint Paul. It's held each year on Mother's Day Weekend at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand (map and directions).
