Our friends at Kilbourn Park Organic Greenhouse are having a Gardening Exchange event. Drop off times start this Saturday, January 5th. Check it out:
Kilbourn Park Organic Greenhouse’s 3rd annual Gardening Exchange event is coming up on Saturday, March 9th, 2013.
Do you have things you are ready to pass on to a fellow gardener?
Did you purchase a tool that doesn’t quite work for you, but someone else could use?We are now collecting items.
This is your chance to give new life to underused tools and books. Donated items will be sold at the Gardening Exchange Event to raise funds to support youth programming at Kilbourn Park Organic Greenhouse.Be creative! We encourage the donation of garden tools, trellis materials, and printed publications. Instead of recycling your gardening and cooking magazines, donate them to Kilbourn Park Organic Greenhouse and inspire more local growing and cooking!
