What to Bring

(1) Scions, cuttings, divisions, tubers, bare-root plants, and seeds of unusual fruits, berries, nuts, vegetables, and herbs. (See below for more about preparing material for the exchange.)

(2) Unusual fruit or vegetable-related edibles to share, such as fresh or dried fruit, jams, cookies, pickles, etc. Do NOT bring fresh fruits or vegetables from Light Brown Apple Moth (LBAM) quarantine areas -- currently Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. See http://pi.cdfa.ca.gov/pqm/manual/htm/419.htm.

(3) Seed, gardening books and catalogs, tools, and other gardening-related items you don't need anymore but someone else would enjoy.

(4) Avoid known hosts for Sudden Oak Death.

(5) Clean all leaves, and leaf-litter from all plant materials to avoid spreading Light Brown Apple Moth. Seeds removed from the fruit are safe and we encourage you to bring them.

(6) Empty plastic bags, masking tape or labels, and a waterproof pen (or pencil) -- to bag and label the things you want to take home from the exchange.
