Neighborhood Plant Swap
Want to add to your garden plants & at the same time share some of your over populated plants!
In an effort to connect with our community and encourage camaraderie amongst us gardeners, Eastrose Fellowship is hosting a plant swap on Saturday, October 13th, 10 am - noon.
How it Works
Pot up the extra plants in your yard and bring them over. Be sure to label plants with their name and best growing conditions. Pick up some cool new treasures for your garden. This is a fun way to introduce more diversity into your garden.
Feel free to bring these to swap: plants, seeds, houseplants, tools, decor, mason bee houses, etc. No invasive plants please.
Join us for this fun, community affirming event!

For more info, contact Karen Pyle kpyle23@gmail.com

Let's Go Walking!
When: Thu, Feb 01, 2018 9AM-5PM |
This hike will be 4 to 4.5 miles, out and back, along the lower Klickitat River in Washington. The trail has a good dirt and gravel surface, with a gradual elevation gain to the turn-around point. This area is known for its population of migratory eagles in the winter. Hopefully, we will be there at the right time to see some eagles. Wear winter clothes and sturdy boots or shoes and bring snacks and water. After the hike we will eat lunch at a local restaurant.
For more information about this hike please contact Bob Criteser at 503-807-1160 or bocr41@gmail.com or Sandy Anderson at 503-761-1375 or sandya14@msn.com.
Senior Healthy Hikers asks that participants be 50 or older. A couple wishing to hike is welcome if one member of the couple is 50 or better.
Pets are not permitted on our hikes or walks.
