Rockwall Plant Swap – Todd Williams – Episode #87
Todd Williams invited us out to the Rockwall County Community Garden to discuss Rockwall Plant Swap which is scheduled for this October 10, 2009 at 9am. The Rockwall Plant Swap is a great opportunity for you to swap plants with other Rockwall area residents.
No cost, just bring plants you don’t want and swap them with plants others don’t want. It is that simple and it is a lot of fun! Rockwall Plant Swap will be held at the Rockwall County Extension area, on your right about 0.6 miles east of FM 549, past Riding Club Estates.
