"Share and Swap"

As you thin your perennials or dig seedlings, pot up your excess plantings and bring them to the 3rd Annual Plant Exchange, hosted by the Hatfield Township Shade Tree Commission, to share with others and, if you want, to swap for something new.

The Exchange will be 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday, May 21, on the Township Municipal Building side lawn (grass and sidewalk areas closest to Chestnut Street.) If it's raining, the Exchange will move into the building's Community Room, which has its outside entrance right at this side of the building.

Folks may bring perennials, tree seedlings or even extra vegetable garden transplants to swap. Labeling your exchange plants and also including a brief note about care, especially whether they are shade loving or sun loving, will be especially useful. If you're low on pots, you can wrap your contributions in damp burlap or newsprint with a plastic bag overlay so they're not wet for transport by car. Or, use your own methods to keep them healthy and make them "trader-friendly" for the next person.
