You are invited to our

Plant and Seed Swap

at the Ecovillage Training Center

on The Farm in Summertown, TN

June 17th 2006 from 1-3 pm

Bring your favorite, unusual, useful, or extra plants and seeds and trade with your neighbors.

We are working to increase the diversity and food production of our educational nonprofit site. We are especially looking for perennial food plants including but not limited to Jerusalem Artichoke, small fruit or nut trees, bushes, or vines and what ever you find is producing well for you in the area. We also need herbs including but not limited to creeping thyme, borage, and yarrow and perennial flowers that will attract beneficial insects to our organic garden and add beauty to the area. Donations of plants would be greatly appreciated but are not necessary to attend.

We have to trade anti-mosquito plants, spiderwort, iris, oregano, mint, many varieties of bamboo and more. Who knows what your neighbors may bring? Come find out, get some new plants, socialize with your neighbors, find out what ETC is all about, and join us for an afternoon of fun.

Tours of the Training center will be available.

For more information please visit www.thefarm.org/etc

The directions are below. Please check in at the booth in front of the school, and please don't arrive before 11:30am. No trading will occur until 1:00pm. You may eat before hand or bring yourself a picnic lunch. Bring a table and chairs if you like and all the utensils you will need.

Please label all plants before arrival.

If you still have questions that aren’t answered on our website, We can be reached at 931-964-4474(ask for Wade)

Hope to see you there!
