Fall Perennial Exchange Offers Fresh Additions
This Sunday, October 4, take advantage of the popular free  perennial exchange at the Kamm's Corners Farmers Market from 10 a.m. to noon. Simply dig up plants to share.

 Sunday's market also features pumpkin carving at 11:30 a.m. with Janelle Reardon. Over the years, she has shared tips and tricks for pumpkin carving at Cleveland Metroparks classes. Learn some great techniques! Many vendors will offer pumpkins and gourds for sale.
