Calling all thrifty gardeners! Why not trade your unused garden art with other members and area gardeners? Arrive promptly at 10a.m., bring your “stuff” to the Bus Parking Area of the parking lot. It will be appraised based on its original value. You will receive a “chit” which you can exchange for new “treasures.” Everything must be clean and in good repair. No tools and nothing over 50 pounds, please. What’s accepted? Statues, whirligigs, containers of all sizes and designs, gnomes, chimes, tuteurs, signs, bird houses, bird feeders and yes, pink flamingoes. Complete guidelines for the sale can be found at www.arboretumfriends.org.
