Greetings!

Welcome to the second issue of the special newsletter for the 56th Annual First Parish Plant & Craft Fair.

This week we're focusing on Saturday's DIGGING DAY and LAUNCH LUNCH. We apologize for the confusion about days and dates in our last missive, but we live on Good Intentions Road and are from time to time (dare we say it?) wrong.

If you're free around noon on Saturday, stop by the Common Room and join us for a simple lunch and some plant fair chat!

It's quite possible that you'll also enjoy this week's garden blog link. Let me know what you think??

Happy Gardening!

Digging - Round II

Our capacity for Digging Day on April 18th is nearly full, but you can still share things from your garden by digging them yourself - sooner rather than later, please.
 
Wendell Smith has offered to shelter whatever you dig until the Fair and the sooner your little darlings are in a pot the better they'll look when they're on sale on May 16th.  E-mail plantfair@uubedford.org if you need your transplants collected or if you'd like to arrange a drop-off. You can also call 781-275-0742.

If you enjoy The Plant Fair News and have friends or colleagues who might also enjoy knowing about the Fair, please feel free to share this newsletter using the link at the bottom of the page, and then encourage them to sign up so that future issues are delivered directly each week between now and May 16.

Word-of-mouth is the best possible way to share the magic and the fun of the Fair. Remember, you know a ton of people that we don't!

Thanks for helping!

For the past year I've enjoyed reading Margaret Roach's A Way to Garden, the source for garden inspiration and information, horticultural how-to and woo-woo.
