Garden Swap?

Thanks again Deb for hosting yet another Trashy group of people. Loved sharing another evening with you guys and yet again shopping Tracey's closet. We're going to have ONE more Trash or Treasure meeting before the 5-months comes to an end (if you can believe that!). Requests and Recommendations welcome! I'm thinking maybe Garden/Tool swap.

*Gardening paraphanalia
*Tools of any kind
*Pots/planters
*gardening gloves
*plants you no longer have a love for

Pretty much, this is your chance to clean out your garage before summer comes! You might even take home something from someone else's garage.

If this sounds like a good idea, let's go for it. We may also do one more clothing swap in June to get some "new" summer clothes (and you can clean out your closets for this season change since the last time we did this it was 35 degrees and raining). If you'd like to host, speak up!

THE GREEN FESTIVAL
Put it on your calendar, June 5-6 if you haven't already. You'll learn all about composting, biodegradable things of all kinds, eco friendly this and that, loads of organic and fair trade FOOD TASTING and little seminars all throughout the weekend. The Green Festival is my all time favorite trade show of all time. It's at the Convention Center and I'd love to get a group of peeps to go together on that Sunday morning-ish. Let me know if you're interested.
