SATURDAY, MAY 31, 2008

PLANT SWAP - Heads up, gardeners! The Belhaven Market will include a plant swap
among this weekend's slate of activities. Neighborhood gardeners and houseplant
enthusiasts are encouraged to bring cuttings, divisions and seeds to exchange. Please
bring a main entry for the official swap at 10:30. Be prepared to talk about your main
contribution -- its name, where it grows (sun or shade, etc.) and how to propagate it. A
numbered tag will be attached to this plant, packet of seeds or cutting, with a
corresponding number on a piece of paper in a hat. Numbers will be drawn to match the
plant and recipient. Bring other plants to swap informally before and after the main
drawing. Remember that swaps are not so much to get new plants as they are to get
people and plants together.
