3rd Annual Plant Exchange/Giveaway – Saturday, 5/21, 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 am on Saturday 5/21 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.
