Swap Fun 2017!!

​National Seed Swap Day was celebrated in style, in Fredericksburg, VA on Saturday, January 28, 2017,  thanks to the hard work and copious preparation of Karen Brace and Katy Stewart, and their large cadre of volunteers. Not only were there seeds and cuttings to swap, but three excellent speakers filled attendee’s heads with stirring words:
  • Gryphon Corpus helped us understand our vital, native pollinators,
  • Ann Gorrell gave practical advice on growing herbs to spice up our lives, and
  • We were provided brilliant answers for the question, “What’s a gardener to do in the winter?” by Mr. David M. Roos.​
