Anyone who loves gardening will want to visit Blue Rock Station on Saturday,
May 14th from 10 AM to 2 PM for a special day of bartering for garden
 “stuff” such as some of those items you’ve always dreamed of but just never
got around to ordering.  If you just want to look and experience the fun,
but not barter, feel free to take a tour of the house made of tires, cans,
bottles and reclaimed wood.

To participate just bring your extra perennials, annuals, vegetables, and
herbs (mature plants, divisions, or seedlings), rooted and unrooted
cuttings, bulbs, shrubs and trees, seeds, and houseplants. Don't forget
garden tools, pots, books, trays, and bundled garden magazines.  There will
be workshops on seed saving, blue birds, and loads of other stuff.  Light
refreshments will be available.  In order not to be disappointed please
reserve table space to be a vendor or to display your goods by telephoning
(740) 674-4300 or visiting http://www.bluerockstation.com.

Ever thought about building a wall out of cans or bottles?  At Blue Rock
Station you can attend an all day workshop, with lunch included on May 28

walls and pillars out of cans and bottles.
