Spring into Robinson Crew's Plant Sale at Burke Nursery -- Friday

As spring finally makes its appearance, many people’s thoughts turn to their lawns and gardens.  The Robinson Crew team is ready to help you get into the spring spirit.  The team is holding its annual plant sale Friday, April 25 from 10am to 8pm at Burke Nursery and Garden Center at 9401 Burke Road, Burke, Virginia.   The event will happen rain or shine. 

The entire nursery inventory is for sale, including annuals, perennials, stones, hanging baskets, shrubs, trees, and master gardener/landscaping design.  Robinson Crew receives 25% of your purchases.  Print the flyer at www.robinsoncrew.org and bring it with you on April 25.   

While crew is a varsity sport at Robinson Secondary School, it receives no financial assistance from the Fairfax County Public School System, Fairfax County, or the State of Virginia. Robinson rowers and parents volunteer thousands of hours each year so that our student-athletes can participate in this exciting activity which builds not only strong bodies, but also teamwork and mental discipline. The program costs approximately $1,900 per rower to cover the equipment, coaches’ salaries and other necessary items needed for a successful season.  We thank Burke Nursery for their continued support of Robinson Crew, and truly appreciate all the support we received from the Robinson community.
