The event will be held in the lower level of the Lewis & Clark Center. Please arrive before 1:00 so that you can hear Dr. Bjorklund, Dr. Green, and Mr. Hassler give their presentations in the Cooper Theater. A wall-mounted tv screen is provided. The theater will seat ≈ 75 guests. All seed swappers are encouraged to attend the presentations listed on the flyer.

Seed swappers should bring pollinator plant seeds as follows:
1. Place 15 – 24 seeds in an envelope or plastic zip-lock baggie.
2. Label the envelope or bag with as much information as you can.
a. Your name and phone number.
b. The common name, Latin name, and if it’s a hybrid seed.
c. The date the seed was gathered.
d. Planting instruction.
e. How many days it takes to germinate.
f. How many days it takes to mature.
g. How tall or wide the plant will be.
h. You could add a photo of the flower.
3. There will be a table(s) set up downstairs near the Cooper Theater. You will put your seeds on the table for all to choose. You may choose the seeds you’d like to plant.
4. You don’t have to bring seeds to be able to take seeds.
5. We won’t be selling seeds, just swapping.

I hope this will be a fun and informative event for all! It’s a great opportunity to talk with other pollinator plant growers, and to try growing some new plants.

I’d like to thank Doug and Opal at the Lewis & Clark Center for all of their help, and for offering the space. And special thanks to Dr. Bjorklund, Dr. Green, and Mr. Hassler for agreeing to drive down and share their knowledge with us!
