<p>Along with the “Put the Idea Garden to Bed” Saturday, November 5 is also a chance for you to clear out some of the "stuff" in your garage/shed/storage area that you no longer use in your own garden! This will be the second annual <em>Sell or Swap Event</em>. The <em>Sell or Swap</em> will begin at 10 a.m. Anything gardening-related is welcome! Bring your extra/unused stuff to sell or swap with your fellow Master Gardeners. The Shed Committee will also have a selection of “stuff” from the Idea Garden shed that fellow gardeners may find useful for next year’s projects.</p>
<p>Some examples of "stuff" that we had at last year's Sell or Swap: ceramic flower pots, fencing, tools, rebar, garden art, and some things that can only be classified as "gizmos."</p>
<p>Let The Shed Committee know if you have any questions; we look forward to seeing you on the 5th!</p>
