Community Seed Exchange
If you’re planting a garden this spring, head on over to the first-ever seed exchange in downtown Provo.
Bring seeds to trade and come home with a variety of unique seeds from gardeners from around the valley. In addition to the seeds participants bring, many have been donated by the Utah County Extension program and by local stores. It’s an easy and free way to get your garden started.
When: Saturday, March 13, 3-6 p.m.
Where: 100 East Center Street, Provo, Rooms L700-L800-L900
Get all the details by reading the Daily Herald or Utah People’s Post articles.
Get Out Your Running Shoes
Just when we thought spring was around the corner, our yards were covered with two days of fresh snow. But, don’t let that stop you from enjoying the outdoors.
Tomorrow, our local American Red Cross is holding a 5k run and 1k walk. Participants take home a t-shirt and the knowledge that they’ve helped raised money for Red Cross disaster response.
When: March 6, 10:00 a.m.
Where: Independence High School
Cost: $25/adults, $20 students with valid ID
If you haven’t registered, show up at 9:00 a.m. to sign up on the spot. For more information, check out the registration site or the Utah People’s Post article.
