July 22nd – Sunny Days

Perennial Madness!

We’re reaching the middle point of our season for the next few weeks and this means full harvests, lots of great (we hope) weather, flowers, plants, and food food food. Our cookbook swap from last month was quite popular and we’ve been asked to do it again, so this week we’ll be resurrecting the cookbook swap! How does it work? Simple!

Bring a cookbook from home that you’re tired of and have a look through the books on our table and swap it up for a similarly sized book! Or, if you are looking to downsize, we will gratefully accept cookbook donations for our next swap. And finally, if you don’t have a book to swap, you are welcome to buy books for a minimum $3 per book donation, which we will happily pass on to the good folks at the Food Bank.  Please note, due to storage issues, we can only accept cookbooks.

What else is going on this week? Have a look…
