    Plant Share

    Do you have some extra plants to share?  This is the time of the year to split many perennials and plant annuals. Have a plant to share? Drop it off at the Garden.  There is a wooden workbench next to the Sharing Shed.  Put sun loving plants on top of the bench and shade loving plants on the bottom shelf of the bench.  Outdoor or indoor plants accepted.  Please be careful to not include plants with obvious signs of pests or disease. The idea is to share plants with campers of all ages and cultivate "green thumbs!" The plant share will be available on the workbench in the Garden all weekend for campers to give and take plants. Share plants and share smiles!
