Crop Swap tomorrow (Sunday)
We have an active Crop Swap in the Brook at the Community Gardens (Tantragee Rd) on the first Sunday of the month. Anyone, no matter where you live, is invited.
What happens at a Crop Swap ?
Everyone brings some produce fruit, vegs, preserves, herbs, seedlings, and anything else that grows - to the Gardens and puts it on the table for all to see.
Then we tell everyone present what we've brought and a little about it.
After that we are free to choose what we want from the table. That's it !!
We sometimes have a cup of herbal brew too ! You are free to stay on and chat to anyone and leave when you like or have a stroll around the gardens.
We start promptly at 10.30am so try to be there a few minutes before that.
It's a national event which has been going since 2014 originally starting in Taranaki.
See you there tomorrow !
Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.
