Thanks everyone!

We just want to say a huge heart-felt THANK YOU to everyone who came out Saturday to participate in the Green Exchange. We had a fantastic turnout and met a lot of new people! This time around we had lemons, oranges, kumquats, tangelo’s, jelly, radishes, mixed salad greens, carrots, kombucha and kombucha cultures, fresh eggs, a lot of seeds, etc. Very impressive! We would also like to say “thank you” to the Beaumont Enterprise for coming out to cover it. Super nice people! We can hardly wait until the next Exchange on February 6th! I know that we are in for some freezing weather that may diminish a lot of our gardens but here are some other alternative goodies you might consider bringing:  any late-in-the-season/winter garden harvest, seeds, canned goods, unwanted houseplants, or even offers of help in preparing/managing your garden for winter. What treasures do you have to share with your neighbor?

Also, we will soon be offering a SETX Green Exchange at The Barking Dog’s Orange location as well. This will be held on the 3rd Saturday of the month so that those wishing to attend both may do so. We hope to kick this off in February or  March, so stay tuned for more information on that front. We are also working on a few other exciting things that we will be sharing with everyone as they unfold.

……………..I would also like to add that we have had several people inquiring as to wether or not they could come to the Exchange even if they do not have anything to swap. ABSOLUTELY! Please do attend even if your don’t have anything to bring right now.  It is more of a sharing out of the overflow of what you’ve grown. A “bring what you want and take what you want” more than a “swap.” We are just interested in fostering community between like minded people.
