Community Plant Exchange

September 26, 2004

1:00pm-2:00pm

Southeast Ann Arbor Area Park

Ellsworth and Platt Roads in Ann Arbor

The Neighborhood Coalition of Southeast Ann Arbor is a community-based organization promoting healthy, safe and fun living in southeast Ann Arbor. The Community Plant Exchange is but one of our events. Below are tips to enjoy this fun community event.

Participation:

Everyone is welcomed to participate. Anything that you feel another gardener may find useful (books, pots, tools, as well as seeds and house and perennial plants), is allowed for trade. If you are new to gardening, this is a fun and inexpensive way to meet fellow gardeners and learn new things!

1) Please set up your exchangeable labeled items on a table, blanket, or even the back of your truck or trunk of your car. By 1:15pm, we will have a short time for everyone to walk around and see what is available. This allows everyone to speak with others who have something that youÂd like to trade.

What to Bring:

1) A box to carry home your new plants

2) Plastic bags to safely wrap your new treasures

3) Items youÂd like to share

-Plants or seedlings in individual containers (i.e. seed trays or yogurt cups)

-Seeds, a minimum of 12 seeds per exchange

-Cuttings wrapped in wet paper or in a container

-Tubers/rhizomes with at least two ÂeyesÂ

Remember:

 This is a plant exchange. All items are to be offered for trade and not money.

 Please label your items. After a while, even a Master Gardener can get confused!

 Feel free to bring items you canÂt name. Some gardeners love Âmystery plants

 If you have any questions, please call Susan at 734-216-9653

 Have fun! Help us out by completing the evaluation form at the Information Booth
