Crestview Garden Party and Seed Swap - Feb. 15th

There is a listserv for gardeners in Crestview (see the Neighborhood Links section). This month Paige Hill will be hosting a Garden Party and Seed Swap. See her post below, copied from the listserv:

I'm hosting a neighborhood garden party at my house for anyone interested in swapping vegetable/herb seeds and sharing info with each other about how you propagate, store, plant or otherwise prep for vegetable gardening with seeds. This will be an outdoor party provided it's not raining or below 60 degrees, otherwise we will pick a different day!

When: Sunday, February 15th, 6pm - 8pm (sorry...I'm out earlier in the day)
Where: 1115 Taulbee Lane
What: We'll share info with each other in a round table Q&A fashion and then exchange until everyone's tired or out of seeds
What to bring:
- Light snack, or drink, or food from your winter garden
- Seeds to share - labeled and with instructions if necessary
*heirlooms are best but not necessary - please label your seeds appropriately (hybrid, heirloom, brand name, scientific name, date you gathered/purchased etc...all these things are helpful to explain what you're giving away to the next person.)
- Any of your favorite resources on how-to and your experiences, info, tips, etc.
- Baggies/jars/etc. and permanent markers for storing and labeling the seeds you take home
- A folding chair if you have one

Children are welcome. Please be prepared to oversee them. They are free to run around, and I have bunnies and some toys, but I do have dangerous objects sitting around (children have a way of finding things I've lost in the grass like scissors! ;).

Pets on leash who get along with children and other pets are ok.

Questions: designbarefoot@gmail.com (preferred)

Addendum:
I'm excited that there is a pretty good response to the idea of having a veggie garden gathering, so I've created an Evite to help people communicate with me or others who are attending.

- Maybe set up carpooling with your neighbor (or a group bike ride!).

- If there's a cancellation due to weather I can send it to attendees
through the Evite.

The biggest question so far? "*What if I don't have any seeds!?*"

- That's ok, come on over anyway. The "no seed" folks can bring a snack or drink, how's that?

Also, if you've got a gardening neighbor who's not on a computer, please feel free to print out the invitation and take it to them. The invite is not limited to cyber gardeners!

This does NOT mean that if you don't respond to the Evite you can't come. Please come...it just helps me be a control freak. :-), that's all.

Cheers,
-Paige
