Pacific Northwest Garden Forum: Lots of free plants for new gardeners

Message

   Welcome new Pacific Northwest Gardeners.  My name is Jim Eichner and for 6 years I have been hosting the spring/fall Green Elephant Plant Swap in Redmond.

There are no sales, just exchanges and freebies.  Every year I bring at least two pickup truckloads of bareroot perennials to give away.

How do I have so much to share?  Because many good people shared their gardens with me to get me started.

The Green Elephant is Saturday Nov 1, 10AM to Noon at the Church of the Holy Cross.

	Thanks for letting us know. I've heard about it but always miss it and have trouble getting information about it. It sounds wonderful!!!!
