Plants have always brought people together in many ways – to grow for food to eat, to decorate gardens and houses, for collecting and occasionally as lessons in financial models (google Dutch Tulip Mania and then have a look at some of the current trade me prices).

To do this we have hired the Old Folks Association Hall behind K Road, where we will have a trading table and a few tables for swaps, a few commercial vendors of plants and plant related products and a range of people with plant hobbies to talk to and gather ideas from, there will be Tea/Coffee and Cake so there is something to sit and gossip over.
