Email sent out to email list (not full HOA list, just the list of people ok with being contacted):
Hey neighbors!
I’m organizing a community plant swap event. In order for the event to be worthwhile, I'm going to reach outside our immediate neighborhood and include some surrounding ones on the Town Point peninsula. If you are interested in attending the event (tentative date set for Sunday May 15th), please reply to this email and I’ll add you to the event contact list. If you have a local friend you think would be interested, you can have them email me too (or you can send me your contacts and I'll email them). Please spread the word!
In addition to the event, I created a local Facebook group called “Chesapeake City Plant Swap”. I will be posting the Plant Swap event on the group page too, but I thought opening the group would help people swap plants locally and make connections outside of the upcoming event.
You don't have to know a lot about gardening to join the group or to go to the event. Plant swaps are "bring a healthy plant to swap, take a new healthy plant home". Kevin has rooted SOOOO many plants this winter so we're looking to unload some (and looking forward to seeing how they do in the yard too!).
The event won't be until May, but I wanted to give everyone enough time to think on it, and maybe start planning and preparing some seeds/cuttings/plants.
Spring is in a few weeks!
