Chicago area plant swap reminder

15 years ago

This is a reminder for people to mark their calendars.

Memorial day weekend, Friday eve, May 22, at Skokie IL our 3rd annual "Gardens without borders" plant swap will take place.

I will post details and open wants/haves list on the Winter Sowing forum later at the end of April/ beginning of May. Those of you who are just starting and have no plants to bring or lurkers, hiding in the shadows of GW- please, consider coming and joining us if driving distance is comfortable for you. We could always appreciate a pie or cookies donation to the cause ;)

Please, contact me via email if you have any questions. Hope to see everyone there.

Do not have to respond to this post, just mark your calendar.
