AYLUS Pearland hosted the online plant sale throughout the year. In June through July,
volunteers sold jasmine, milk weed, snake plant, succulent, passion fruit plants and lotus
flowers on WeChat groups to the local Chinese community. In summer, they have
successfully geminated Mexican mango, Filipino mango and avocado plants and sold them
on Facebook Market in the fall. In November, AYLUS volunteers started planting Christmas
cactus and they have already prepared 30 pots for the holiday sale.
The total $306 dollars raised were donated to the Ed Thompson All Inclusive Playground.
