This is the last swap of the year!! I’d love to focus on bolstering the seed library. Sunday, November 8th, 2-3pm
Tentative location is the town of Apex pollinator garden at the Seymour Athletic Fields side of Apex Nature Park – 2500 Evans Road, Apex, NC.
The format we did since the June swap has been working well!
Here’s the plan:
🕑 Folks are welcome to arrive a little early, but not earlier than 1:45pm.
🔎 Host/volunteers will set up the following zones:
🌻 Native Plants
🌵 Non-native Plants
🍅 Veggies/Fruit
🫚 Herbs
🌱 Seeds
🪴 Indoor Plants
👭 Items brought for specific people (labeled with their name)
No-Swap Zone: place for people to place items they have claimed to keep them safe.
Each zone will have a table with labeling supplies and a volunteer if available to answer questions and offer guidance.
From 2-2:15pm folks can work on the following:
- Making a name tag
- Setting their things in the appropriate zone and labeling them properly.
- Checking out what other folks brought
- Socializing with your fellow gardeners
2:15: Host will welcome everyone, make announcements and briefly go over the rules.
Bells/Chimes/Horn (whatever noise maker the host brings)
🕑 1st (2:20pm): 1st round of swapping. Take only 1 thing from each zone.
🕑 2nd (2:30pm): 2nd round of swapping. Go back for seconds - 1 think from each zone.
🕑 3rd/Final (2:40pm): Anything goes! Whatever remains is up for grabs!
📜 Other norms/vibes/guidelines:
🍅 It is okay to come empty handed for your first swap or two, but you are encouraged to bring something to support the community.
🍅 Suggested non-plant/seed things you can bring: permanent markers, small containers for plants, bags, envelopes, labeling stakes, cardboard boxes, folding tables, helping hands for setting up and cleaning up.
🍅 Vibes: generous, abundant, sharing, community building, social, learning, giving, intentional, kind, courteous, intergenerational, multicultural, inclusive, supportive, and safe.
