Plant Sale Planned by Easton Mom
Noreen Forde Organizes Plant Sale for Mother's Day Event to Help Ovarian Cancer Patients at Clearity
Easton resident Noreen Forde is organizing a third Mother's Day Plant Sale in Black Rock. Proceeds will help ovarian cancer patients, survivors and caregivers receive scientific information, molecular profiling, clinical trials matching and counseling from Clearity, all free of charge. This is her third year hosting a plant sale. Last year's event raised over $10,000.
"Live flowers are such a wonderful sign of spring and a beautiful gift for Mother's Day," Noreen Ford said. "Women facing ovarian cancer need education and Clearity is able to help them understand a difficult diagnosis, so I want to help other women like me," stated Noreen added.
Premium Hanging Plants will be sold featuring Ivy Geranium or Petunia Trailing. They are $30 each or two for $50. Noreen teamed up with Vaiuso Farms Inc. of Branford to get the best plants possible. Patrick Clyne, owner of The Castle on Post Restaurant & Pub, is hosting the event at his new facility at The Castle, Black Rock, 3171 Fairfield Avenue, Bridgeport. The new parking lot allows for easy pick-up of flowers.
