People helping people with gardening

Welcome to our club and thanks from the Bastrop Library

Plant and book sale, Silent Auction and Quilt raffle was held on Mar 29-30, 2024. This great event will support the Bastrop Library summer children's program.
The Plant Sale, Silent Auction, and Quilt Raffle will support the Bastrop Library summer children's activity and reading program. This built upon the 2018 (and prior) event which had 203 programs and a large number of children in the Bastrop community. Click here for a slideshow of this summer program. This will be held in conjunction with the "Friends of the Library" annual book sale. We offer hard-to-find, Bastrop hardy perennials, shrubs, and succulents, along with vegetable starts. 100% of the proceeds will go to the Library’s summer reading program for kids. We raised over $11,000 in our 2018 event (even better than the over $8000 in 2017, $6,661 in 2016 and $5300 in 2015) at the event. Click here for more information. This is much appreciated by the Bastrop Library and the Friends of the Library to help support their programs.
