Have you ever wanted to learn more about gardening?  Do you have or want seeds?  Come meet local growers, do a little dancing, and celebrate local agriculture.

The Rio Grande Community Farm is hosting a first ever seed exchange on Sunday March 30, 2008.  A free seed exchange will take place from 1:00 - 3:00 pm.  Families are welcome.  Enjoy arts and crafts, live music, community booths, and meet master gardeners. 

At 3:30 pm, a reception will be held at the barn, with live music, food & drinks, and a special guest:  Chief Inspector Brett Bakker with the New Mexico Organic Commodities Commission.  Bakker will speak about making urban agriculture sustainable.
