Rise with the gardeners for early garden exchange
Stop by the early morning garden exchange from 8-9 a.m. Saturday, held at the Santa Cruz Live Oak Grange, 1900 17th Ave. Park in the northern rows of the parking lot away from the building. Gardeners are welcome to bring seeds, bulbs, succulents, houseplants, veggies, fresh flowers, informational material or any garden-related items to trade within the garden community.
The Santa Cruz Garden Exchange is a free event where local residents bring extra garden-related items to give away. No money is exchanged, and participants are not required to bring anything to take part. However, attendees are expected to take home any items they bring that are not given away.
Evening exchanges are on hold until next spring. Early morning exchanges take place the fourth Saturday of every month from 8 to 9 a.m. at the Live Oak Grange. For information, email santacruzgardenexchange@gmail.com.
