The garden and plant sale has become one of the Northshore’s best events attracting over 2,000 homeowners and gardeners from across St. Tammany and neighboring parishes. The Northshore Garden and Plant Sale is the group’s main fundraiser, and the proceeds help support the Bobby Fletcher Sr. College Scholarship. The scholarship is given in memory of Dr. Bobby Fletcher Sr., a longtime supporter of youth participation in agricultural and horticultural activities in St. Tammany Parish.
