Snappy Swaps Plants

On Saturday, May 19, 2013 the New Heights Community Church in IGH hosted a "Plant Swap" at the South Valley Park. The church meets Sundays at the Veterans Memorial Community Ctr at 10:00am.

Snappy was thrilled and excited to find that the plant swap was not rained out even though it was coming down like cats and dogs. With an umbrella and a rain jacket, Snappy ran for cover under the South Valley Shelter to see what kind of plants were brought for the swap.

Snappy was welcomed by New Heights staff and members with cheerful faces, welcoming her in to take as much as she wanted since the rain was going to be keeping most people away.

Snappy came away with a nice sampling of hostas, hydrandias, ferns and a red butterfly bush someone drove up with their VW bug loaded with more plants. A little rain never kept us die-hard gardeners away!

Thanks to New Heights church for hosting this swap. "Garden gloves off" to the organizers of this event. It's a great thing to do for many reasons. Meet other like-minded gardeners, get a few new plants, meet others in the faith community and meet your "neighbors."
