Dear Friends of the Green Elephant Plant Swap. I have mapped out four Green Elephant events for the coming year. Fall GE Saturday Nov 7, 2009 Winter Seed Sowing Saturday Jan 16, 2010 Spring GE Mar 6, 2010 Victory Garden Vegi Swap May 1, 2010 I made up a tri-fold color flyer that you can print out and use to invite friends to the swap. No amount of advertising is as effective as the kind invitation of one gardener to another. Thanks, Jim Eichner Here is a link that might be useful: 2009-2010 Green Elephants

You are invited to the Spring Green Elephant Plant Swap. Saturday March 3 10 AM to Noon Church of the Holy Cross 11526 162nd Ave NE Redmond WA 98052 Directions and Details The Green Elephant Plant Swap is hosted in North Redmond, WA, at the Episcopal Church of the Holy Cross; The site offers parking, covered areas, indoor facilities, kitchen, memorial garden, grass labyrinth and playground. It is five minutes from I-405 and I-520. Contact: Jim Eichner, cell phone: 425-223-7249 How it works: No sales, just exchanges and freebies, please. Tailgating Encouraged. The format for the trade is like a tailgate party. Traders exchange expert gardening information as well as plant materials. In two hours all the deals are sealed. We have plenty of new parking. Free Stuff. Many gardeners generously share plants from the abundance of their gardens�An excellent way to begin your garden. Also an excellent way to thin out that giant patch of shasta daisies, etc. There is always a pile of plants free for the sharing at the swap. What if I have nothing to trade? Cookies and chocolate work like money at the Green Elephant! Bring ten friends. Cheers, Jim Eichner
