6th Annual Seed & Plant Swap

We were thrilled with the turnout for the 6th Annual Seed and Plant Swap! Attendees were eager to share and discover new varieties. From heirloom tomato seeds to vibrant succulent pups, there was something for every gardener. The atmosphere was buzzing with conversation and friendly advice, making it a true celebration of our local green thumbs!
