| Great, Thanx Angela. Can attendees try to post a list of what you are bringing, or an Exchange List in your Member Section, so we can pre-arrange Trades? Please see my list and ask for stuff. I generally bring at least 6 types of plants, but requests are welcome - and that is a good way to get what you really hope for. A Personal garden visit is good anytime! Leftover items from Angela's Swap (and others) could be give away on Earth Day, April 21. I have shady storage space if needed, and I live near Woodlawn Park were the 2007 Earth Day event will be held. Add to your usual GW list of Portland-area Spring Swaps this one, combined with the Friends of Portland Community Gardens, to beef-up their annual Plant and Seed Give-Away, on Saturday, April 21. This happens at the Annual EARTH DAY Celebration - which this year is appropriately to be called: Planting the Seeds of Community - so GardenWebbers!! Please attend, invite your Garden Clubs, and help give that meaning... Earth Day 2007 will be held in NE Portland at Woodlawn Park, near the Woodlawn Elementary School and Community Garden, just north of 11th & NE Dekum. Lots will be going on,including music, and a great Kids Play area. Over 100 organizations participated last year! # 75, 8 bus, & # 6 are close. All connect to MAX. Anywhere from 1,000 to 5,000 people, including many new, young homeowners, may attend...so begin your Winter Sowing now, to pot-on in April, and also think what you'd like to divide - as WE NEED PLANTS! Want ot clear out that seed bin? Small, labelled packets will be wonderful...as there will be many grateful takers, who will reciprocate in coming years. This is a pay-it-forward culture. It's best to come to Earth Day in the morning, as crowds may be large after noon. Whatever is there could go fast. OK to drop off stuff, then park by my house if you like, on NE 9th Ave. You can call me for info...or to drop off plants prior to the April 21 event...and get something from my overgrown farmyard, or my crusty seed bins. Cell: 503-809-9697 Let's get Swapping! Julie |
