There is such great need for support in Ukraine, and children are uniquely impacted by the war there. The sunflower is the national flower of Ukraine, and Mindy Claflin of Nehalem was inspired to start a group fundraiser. At the Home and Garden show this weekend at the Tillamook fairgrounds, Saturday and Sunday, April 30th and May 1st, the booth “Sunflowers for Ukraine” will offer more then 5 types of sunflower seedlings at $2 each. The seedlings include the American Giant Hybrid, which can grow to 14-16 feet high, as well as smaller types such as Dwarf Teddy Bear and Dwarf Sunspot, which are container varieties.

Michelle Vinciguerra’s three-dimensional quilt will be a silent auction item.
