This summer's first Wednesday evening Gardeners' Swap Meet will be at the Chico Peace and Justice Center on June 10 from 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Do you have an excess of eggplants and a shortage of tomatoes? A plethora of peaches but an appetite for apricots? Fill a bag with your extra home-grown edibles and SWAP them with another grower for something you don't have. No garden? No problem--wild blackberries, the fruit from neglected plum trees and the like are also welcome, but please avoid picking from plants growing close to major roads.
