Our next Plant and seed exchange will take place on the first Tuesday of June, June 6.  It's held at Kaiser High School from 4-7 pm.  Bring a plant and take a plant.  If you don't have one to exchange, you can always bring us one the following month, or if you prefer to leave a donation, proceeds will go to Friends of Kaiser PTSA and be used for scholarships and fee assistance for students and teachers.

Once again it's time for the first Tuesday plant swap at Kaiser High School.  We'll be there from 4-7 at the farmers' market in the school parking lot.  As of this weekend, here are the plants it looks like we'll start with.

Mahalo Everyone !

This month's plant exchange / plant swap was a resounding success thanks to you.  We were overwhelmed by the response, from those who drove from as far as Makaha, Wahiawa and Kahaluu just to participate, to those of you who volunteered to assist with set up and running the event.

Here's a picture of me pet-sitting a guinea pig.  She and I got to be good friends.  My new buddy burrowed down and fell asleep while her owners browsed the ever-growing farmer's market.

The next exchange will be May 2nd, the next first Tuesday of the month.  Hope to see everyone there!

Bring a plant, take a plant. It's an informal exchange for gardeners, landscapers and all plant lovers. Every first Tuesday, we host a plant exchange at the Kaiser High School farmer's market. This coming week we expect to start with:
