Save the Date: Seed Swap at Chicago Flower & Garden Show

For the past few years I've been organizing  a seed swap at the Chicago Flower & Garden Show among a few friends (sometimes strangers too) at the Chicago Flower & Garden Show. We referred to it as a "shady seed swap" because we operated without permission of the flower show, and sometimes would sneak off into an empty room to swap our seed bounty. Backyard gardeners, community gardeners, school gardeners are all welcomed. So, on Sunday March 11th from 3PM-Until they kick us outPM the Chicago Flower & Garden Show will be host to the first ever "Great Chicago Seed Swap," and you're invited. I'm glad I took the call because it turned out that the show had heard about the swap (they knew all along really, guess I'm not that slick) and were interested in learning about why gardeners swap seeds. After a discussion the organizers of the show asked if I would open up the seed swap to all of Chicago, because it is in the spirit of the show's mission to educate, inspire and motivate gardeners. There will be a table for annual seeds, perennial seeds and edibles.

After more than a decade in the business, the real-estate agent knew that many landlords had very narrow ideas about whom they did and didn't want living in their apartments and houses. Most of them were fairly subtle about it. "I want the right people," they might say, being careful to couch their instructions in innocuous-sounding terms.
