Due to COVID-19, we need to make change to our plant swap this year and set the following parameters:
π» New location: Skokie Garden Plots Parking lot on LeClaire Ave. south of Main Street in Skokie. The garden plots are located between Main Street and Madison School.
πΊ New time: πΊ 12 NOON - 2 PM πΊ
πΈ Directions to the parking lot: From Main Street, turn south on LeClaire Ave.
πΌ Pre-trades only. There will be no open swap as we have done in the past.
π 10 ft. Distancing and face masks are required. These rules will be strictly enforced with a squirt gun or garden hose.
πΎ Please be swift. Do not linger or enter the garden plots. We will socialize and get acquainted/reacquainted some other time, hopefully soon.
Individual exchange & pick ups outside of the swap are encouraged and welcome.
πΊ If you ask for plants but cannot make it to the swap, please let someone know in advance to make an arrangement for the plants. It is disheartening to see good plants unclaimed and go to waste. After all, it takes time and efforts to dig up those plants for you.
Note to newbies, this is not a one for one swap, but a community sharing event. You can ask for anything posted here and/or post your wishlist even though you do not have anything to offer any particular gardener.
πππ Ever since Ellen spearheaded this event 20 years ago, it has brought friends, neighbors and strangers together to share their passion and joy. We would like to continue to spread the joy over and over again.ππ¦π
ππ₯π₯¦π₯¬π₯πΆ Let's grow a garden and bring joy especially during this horrible time, shall we?π·π₯πΊπΈπΌπ»
