Saturday May 6 Plant Swap at 10:00 am at Rebecca Olack's. Call her 601-826-3801 or email to get her address and directions. Dig up a "passalong plant" from your yard to share during this year's Annual Plant Swap. Or, if you're not a gardener and don't have a plant to share, how about bringing a bag of coffee beans or a box of tea? (News flash: both are plants!). A favorite book to swap will be printed on (you guessed it) plant based paper! Maybe you are a cook with some recipes or a jar of jam to share? Not only are your recipe cards plant-based, but you are certainly using ingredients God provides from a garden. You get the idea. This is just a fun morning get-together where all are welcome. Bring something to swap, a treat to share, and the desire to meet some new friends and enjoy the company of those you already know. See you then!
