@ the Fest – What to Bring

We’re excited to offer lots of ways for you to share your bounty and walk away with something new to you. Here is the low-down.

SWAPS

🌿 Plant Swap
Bring plant starts and divisions — especially edibles — to share with fellow growers. Take home something new for your garden or windowsill!

🎲 Game & Puzzle Swap
Board games, card games, puzzles (please make sure all pieces are included!). It’s a bring-one, take-one setup — swap and play!

🍎 Apple Exchange
Have an apple tree? Bring your fresh (no windfalls or bruised fruit, please) apples to contribute to our cider mix!
👉 Bring containers to take home about 1 jug of cider per 10 lbs of apples you donate.
