Carol Rowe set up the stall selling plants, calendars, preserves, crafts and books and was joined by her fellow Exmouth in Bloom members.
Their first customer was a van driver from Plymouth passing through making a delivery in the road who was followed by Carol’s friends, family and neighbours.
Items were paid for by contactless payment, something welcomed by customers on the day.
The stall raised £354 for Exmouth in Bloom.
