Community Garden Club's Plant Exchange-1:00-5:00pm
Each year during Carrboro Day you have an opportunity to bring a plant from
your yard or an indoor plant from your house and exchange it for one of
our member's plants. This year we would like to share information about
heritage and old timey heirloom plants and seeds. Our club was formed informally
in 1986 to bring together people who enjoy gardening, Today, twenty three
years later, our group has approximately thirty members, who meet monthly
at members' homes to visit our gardens, exchange seeds and plants and enjoy
friendship. For the community, we maintain a wild garden along the Frances
Lloyd Shetley Bikeway near Carrboro Elementary School, as well as create
the natural Wreath and column swags for Carrboro Town Hall each December.
Carrboro Day is the third event we enjoy each year.
Bring
healthy, indoor or outdoor plants to trade. Please label your plants with
the plant name and growing requirements (indoor plant, shade, sun, annual,
perennial, etc). Club members will be on hand to share gardening advice,
identify plants, provide information on exotic invasive species. And you
will be welcome to sign up to join our group if you wish.
