Join Nobleboro resident and gardener Betty Nelson (her specialty is daylilies) in Damariscotta on June 3 at 10 a.m. for the Center’s Seventh Annual “It’s Late Spring, Dig It Up Now, Perennial and Herb, Gardening Book and Tool Swap and Exchange”. Donations at the end of area plant sales and from local greenhouses are always appreciated. For people who have never been to plant exchange before, here are some tips and suggestions that might help: Dig and divide your plants, and place into pots. The pots needn’t be fancy. Milk cartons, cottage cheese containers and yogurt containers work well. Water them well and bring them along. If you have a picture of the plant, it’s a handy thing for other gardeners. A perennial reference book can also help in identifying plants. Make a sign on poster board of what you have to trade and what plants you’re seeking. You can trade out of the back of your car or truck. Just park at the back of the Spectrum Generations Coastal Community Center’s parking lot, 521 Main Street in Damariscotta and pop open the trunk or tailgate. Some gardeners bring wagons so they can circulate among other traders. If you’re a new gardener and have nothing to trade, don’t be discouraged. Come on down! Gardeners are generous folks. You could go home with a trunk full of new plants. In exchange for your new plants please make a donation of $2 -$6 per plant, depending upon the size (and rarity) of the plant in support of the Center’s programs and activities. For more information please call the Coastal Center (563-1363). This is a rain or shine event so get out into your garden, select, dig up and pot those extra herbs and perennials should inclement weather be predicated.
