Items will also be on sale at the 28th Annual Mayfest Celebration from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 3.

RAAI participants grow more than 100 plant varieties through the horticulture therapy program. “The participants look forward to the spring sale each year,” said Melessa Suder, RAAI horticulture specialist  “They have been working hard in our greenhouses and take great pride in their plants.”

For more than 35 years, Rappahannock Adult Activities, Inc. has provided a community-based developmental day program that promotes dignity, independence, individualization, inclusion, and productivity of people with intellectual disabilities in their home communities. RAAI helps keep these individuals out of institutional settings and allows caregivers respite from care responsibilities. Proceeds from the plant sales provide scholarships to allow participants without funding the opportunity to attend RAAI.
