It’s time to get out and be social!  Oh, and we should be back on CBS 42 this week! This time you can catch us on Saturday mornings highlighting some fun events!

Cuttings, bare-root, or in a pot – all are welcome! Bring one plant or as many as you like! Totally up to you. If you do not have anything to swap, you are still more than welcome to join in!
