Fwd: The HOUR Traders Springtime Celebration THIS Sunday, April 19th!

[Cheryl Good]

Hi there gardeners...

Ya'll might want to check out this event.  There will be a small plant and seed swap area in front of the Old World Deli at this event.  Bring your extra plants and pick up new ones! 

You can bring items to sell or barter @ the indoor market. We call those Barter Baskets!  Come meet a fine group of folks and celebrate Spring and all things local!   (All vendors accept both our local currency, HOURS, and the US dollar.)

Cheers!

All at the HOUR Exchange’s 14th Annual Spring Gathering, coming up THIS Sunday, April 19, 12-4pm, at the Old World Deli in Downtown Corvallis. Free Event. Everyone is welcome. Free Plant and Seed Swap - Gardeners and plant lovers are encouraged to bring seeds, starts, bulbs, plants, and other items for exchange. Please come prepared with established plants and label your plants well. This event has been a favorite of many in the past and is a great start to the upcoming gardening season. Insects! The weather is warming up and the insects are crawling, flying and wriggling. They are eating, too! Pollinators, parisitoids and leaf eaters (just to name a few) are out and about. Come to the Spring Gathering and bring any insects specimens (in a jar, dead or alive) and we will do our best to identify them. Come with your questions and curiosity; we will have reference books and our own specimens for sharing information. We will show you how to make aspirators (otherwise known as ‘bug suckers’) so you can collect insects alive.  Let’s start the gardening season knowing who we are gardening with.
