Community members are invited to bring seedlings to swap, or to come without seedlings and just choose offerings for their spring gardens. All seedlings are free--you don’t need to bring some to swap to take some home. Donations to Hoosac Harvest are encouraged. Seedlings to share can be extra vegetables or flowers that you bought or grew and can even be cuttings or plants that you have too many of in your yard. Bring and share what you can.
