SUMMARY:Community Seed Swap Day (Free)
DESCRIPTION:*We are devastated to have to announce that we are canceling the seed swap event scheduled for this Saturday 1/31. \nThe road to the nursery is still covered in ice as are most of the paths at the nursery. Because of that\, and the very low temps predicted for Saturday we think it’s probably the best call for now. \nWe are so sorry for any inconveniences this causes\, but have high hopes of more free and fun swap events in the near future! 🙏 Thank y’all for understanding!! \nSave the Date: Rooted In Seed SwapJanuary 31 • 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.Rooted In – 12804 Pelzel Rd\, Pilot Point\, TX 76258\nMark your calendar!
