Mark your calendars for our next meeting, Sunday the 21st of April, 2pm set up, 2:30pm we swap! Bring anything related to the kitchen or garden to share. (see ideas below-- you have more than you think). Keep telling your friends about it, what a great way for the community to share our abundance.
Last meeting we got to use our new banner for the first time. We shifted our meeting place slightly to be under the trees and use existing picnic tables on the school grounds. Going forward I think we'll tend to meet here, under the beautiful tree, unless it is raining. In case of rain under the school awning will work better. Either way you'll be able to see the banner and find us easily from the school parking lot.
If you have been thinking of checking it out, we look forward to seeing you soon. Please come along, whether you have an abundance to share, or just at little at the moment. It is about the joy of sharing rather than a one-for-one swap.
Here is a rundown of how a typical meeting works, so you know what to expect.
How it all works:
2-2:30pm time to set up and check out everyone's offerings and catch up.
2:30 pm announcements, then we pick out new goodies to take home!
Usually all is done by 3pm.
Ideas for what to bring:
FROM THE GARDEN:
FROM THE KITCHEN:
Get picking and come to share, love to see you there.
