Plumer Landscaping & Irrigation and the Lindsborg Greenhouse & Nursery are inviting families to celebrate 15 years in business with a weekend of creative fun, community giving, and a look ahead to something even bigger.
This weekend, April 4–6, owner Erin Plumer is hosting fairy garden workshops each evening from 5 to 6 p.m. at the nursery. Participants can bring their own containers or purchase supplies on-site. Soil and class instruction will be donated. A $10 ticket helps cover costs, and 10% of the weekend’s proceeds will benefit the Lindsborg Childhood Development Center.
“This is about giving back to the community that helped raise us,” Plumer said. “We grew up in Salina and Lindsborg, and we wanted to do something fun and meaningful.”
The celebration continues the following weekend, April 18–19, with a special open house and fundraiser honoring the life of Dawson Hogan, a young man who tragically passed away in a vehicle crash on I-70 during a windstorm. Free pulled pork barbecue and refreshments will be offered, and 10% of proceeds will again go toward supporting a local cause. Plumer, who grew up with Dawson’s mother Dana Bonilla Hogan, said the event will be a celebration of Dawson’s life and a show of support for his family.
“We’re combining our anniversary with a way to honor Dawson and lift up his family,” Plumer said. “It’s really about community, remembrance, and planting something new—literally.”
