Our
first Plant and Seed exchange was held at the Naohulelua
Historical Garden on Sunday April 22, 2007. The weather
co-operated and there was a good turnout of people bringing
plants and seeds to exchange, or who came to buy from
the vendors. The event was arranged to give publicity
to the garden in the hope of attracting individuals or
groups to plant and maintain a section of the garden,
or to join the weeding team. It is planned to hold the
event at about six month intervals.
