Let me start with a riddle. What do Chinese ground orchids, chrysanthemums, azaleas, miniature roses, Chinese wisteria and sedum all have in common? Do you give up? They are all going to be offered at the upcoming Master Gardener Plant Exchange on September 27th at the UCCE Office at 501 Texas St in Fairfield, CA. The event will run from 9:00 to 12:00. I have also heard rumors of bird of paradise, succulents and who knows what else. Each time we have put on this event the selections have been different and unique.
Remember this is a free event and open to the public. Bring any plants, cuttings, seeds, gardening tools, books or garden art you would like to share with other gardeners. We will also be sharing gardening information and knowledge in the form of lectures and handouts. To date we have lectures on Succulents and on Fairy Gardens planned.
Please do not bring any invasive, diseased or overly large (over 5 gallon pots) and thorny plants to the exchange. It will be a great chance to see and obtain some new plants, perhaps learn some new techniques, and get some gardening questions answered. It's also a great chance to hang out and chat with some pretty cool people-other gardeners! Hope to see you there. I can't wait.
