Our Oct.10th. Whistle Stop Park Plant Swap Party was a huge success. At least 100-150 people came thru. EPS got a lot of new locally adapted edibles for distribution in our area and will be adding those to our plant project page soon. Special thanks go to Crystal and her husband, Kathryn, Patricia, Lynn, Jay, Vashti, Titus, Ashton, Ann, Shirley, Di and her husband, Jeanie, New Smyrna Beach Mom, The Observer Newspaper, Dunkin Donuts, everyone else who helped, and everyone who came with plants to trade!
