A Perennial Gift

April 30, 2026

Every spring, Jane Sachs proves that a few extra plants can do a whole lot of good. What began as a seasonal garden clean‑out has blossomed into a heartfelt community fundraiser that continues to give back year after year.

Once again Jane is hosting her roadside plant sale at the end of her driveway along Highway 31 between Williamsburg and Morrisburg (5023 Highway 31, Glen Becker). Neighbours and passersby are encouraged to stop in, browse the selection, and pick out a plant (or two), with payment left using the honour system. You’ll find a rotating mix of herbs, annuals, perennials, shrubs, trees, and vegetables; and because it changes all the time, you never quite know what will be waiting. That’s part of the charm, so slow down, stop in, and take a look. Every dollar raised supports the WDMH Foundation’s Cancer Care Fund.

Since 2018, Jane’s plant sales have raised $2,471.45 for Winchester District Memorial Hospital and $1,000 for Dundas Manor. Her roots in community giving go back even further, supporting local causes this way since before 2010.

Jane’s ongoing generosity is a reminder that small, community‑hosted initiatives can really take root, and make a meaningful difference close to home.

The WDMH Foundation extends a heartfelt thank‑you to Jane for her continued kindness, and to everyone who stops by and helps this fundraiser keep blooming year after year.

If you are interested in hosting your own fundraiser for the WDMH Foundation please contact us! 613‑774‑2422 ext. 6162.
