Plant Exchange at SML – Saturday, May 23, 10 am to 2 pm. Did you start a few too many veggie or flower seeds? Have divisions of perennials you want a home for? Have a few extra cuttings you don’t want to compost? Bring them to the side porch of the Library, preferably before 10 a.m., on Sat. 5/23 and share them with your neighbors. Please label what you bring! Are you looking to add a tomato, herb or flower to your garden? Stop by and help yourself. It’s self-serve, although a gardener may be around to encourage and advise.
Although we call this a swap, YOU DON’T NEED TO BRING A PLANT TO TAKE A PLANT. And don’t forget to bring your extra seeds in to the Seed Exchange. You can drop them off at the desk. Questions? Call Joan-Claire 733-0237
SML will be closed on Monday, May 25 in observance of Memorial Day. Please use our bookdrop when we are closed. We will be open Tuesday, May 26 as usual to meet your needs.
