PRODUCE EXCHANGE & WILDFLOWER HIKE: Next Saturday!

EAST COUNTY PRODUCE EXCHANGE
Saturday, March 26    1:00 - 3:00 PM  (TIP: BE THERE FIRST HOUR!)
Jamul Community Church - 14058 Jamul Drive
Spread the Word!  This event is where you can trade your unused produce for your neighbor's fruits and vegetables.  It's a great way to get to know your community better, and use your backyard resources wisely.
Bring fruits, vegetables, plants, herbs, eggs, flowers, or anything homegrown.  Bring your own table/chairs, and don't forget bags to collect your items.  Master Gardener Lois Young will be there for questions.  This is a grassroots endeavor, and no money is exchanged, just trading goodies and meeting a lot of good people!
This is some of last month's goodies from the Produce Exchange: pink lemonade lemons, guava, limes, potted fern, tomatoes...

"DISCOVER WILDFLOWERS" HIKE 
Saturday, March 26 – 9-10:30 AM  (Just enough time to go home and get your produce for the exchange!)
A US Fish & Wildlife ranger and native plant experts from RECON Inc. will lead an easy to moderate wildflower hike at Rancho Jamul, our San Diego National Wildlife Refuge.  Bring water, sturdy shoes that can get muddy, and a sketchpad or camera if you'd like.  Meet up at at the end of Par Drive, off Steele Canyon Rd.  Only heavy rain will cancel!
