You've only got a few days left to get ready for the Greengirls plant swap.
Greenthumbs, get ready to make a deal
From 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, the Star Tribune's garden bloggers will be hosting a cash-free plant swap. Our marketplace will be the small park across from the Star Tribune building (425 Portland Av. S. in downtown Minneapolis).
Here's how it works: Bring whatever you have to share, including divisions of plants from your garden, extra seedlings, containers, garden tools, books or other supplies. Leave your money in your mattress. If you can strike a deal with a fellow green-thumb, you've got a trade.
We'll also be giving out free sunflower seeds, gardening calendars and door prizes (while supplies last) and will provide free parking.
Of course, the Greengirls will be on hand to dish the dirt on gardening.
So dig up your extra seedlings, divide your overgrown plants and join us, rain or shine.
All transactions are between individuals. The Star Tribune makes no representations or warranties regarding trades of plants or garden supplies. The management assumes no responsibility for the loss or damage by fire, theft or any other cause to or by the vehicle while in custody of the management.
