🚨 INTERPOL GARDEN DIVISION REPORT 🚨

ATTENTION, GUMSHOES:

A major breakthrough has been made in the Crop Swap Leonardo investigation.

Agents have confirmed a sighting of notorious produce distribution magnate 🍆 EGGPLANT ESCOBAR, also known as The Capo di Caponata, at the Sisterhood of the Traveling Plants Crop Swap.

📍 LOCATION CONFIRMED:
55 Appleton Ave
(Corner of Appleton & Viola)

Field agents report that the active exchange site is currently operating from the driveway on Viola Avenue and remains active every Sunday and Monday.

Evidence recovered at the scene includes:

🍅 Multiple varieties of tomato plants
🌱 Snap pea seedlings
🌵 Aloe plants
🌿 Fresh-cut herbs for seasoning your culinary operations
🌻 Seeds of all kinds

Authorities remind citizens that while the exchange of produce remains technically legal, the redistribution of excessive abundance continues to be closely monitored.

Remember, gumshoes:

👉 Take what you need.
👉 Bring what you don’t.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Plants Crop Swap can be found at 55 Appleton Ave every Sunday and Monday, where agents have documented an ongoing exchange of plants, produce, herbs, cuttings, and seeds.

Investigators have also uncovered reports of suspicious activity involving the nearby Yellow Curbside Curio Mystery Box, which appears to have been recently restocked.

🕵️ Additional intelligence suggests a lemonade stand may be operating in the vicinity.

Proceed accordingly.

INTERPOL GARDEN DIVISION believes Eggplant Escobar may be using the Sisterhood of the Traveling Plants Crop Swap as a temporary distribution hub. Witnesses describe the suspect as frequently accompanied by suspicious quantities of basil and operating an underground network of gardeners, seed savers, and tomato enthusiasts.

Some weekends arrive with sunshine.

This one apparently arrived with biblical amounts of rain.

So the Crop Swap will be doing what gardens do best and carrying on.

Find us at:

55 Appleton Ave
(table on Viola by the garage)

all day Sunday + Monday.

Currently keeping company with tomatoes, parsley, oregano, aloe, snap peas, okra, sugar pumpkins, petunias… and anyone else brave enough for Memorial Day weekend.

Take something if you need it.
Leave something if you can.

Summer starts anyway

🌿 THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PLANTS 🌿

This summer, let your roots wander.

The Crop Swap is on the move.

What started as a table has become… several tables.

To survive another growing season (and because watering one table all summer is a lot), the swap will rotate homes throughout the week.

Bring your excess.
Take what you need.

Flowers • veggies • seedlings • herb trimmings • cuttings • eggs • crops of every kind.

📍 Sundays & Mondays
55 Appleton Ave
(table in driveway on Viola)

📍 Tuesdays & Wednesdays
3 Burlington Ave
(under the stairs)

📍 Thursdays–Saturdays
35 Leonard Ave
(corner of Center & Leonard)

Some friendships last forever.
Tomatoes do not.

Our Crop Swap is on the move to Below the Banister Botanicals 🌿

Our little Crop Swap is on to its next location home beneath the stairs at 3 Burlington Ave — quietly growing one cutting, clipping, seedling, and tomato plant at a time.

The Crop Swap rotates locations throughout the week:
🌿 Appleton Ave — Sundays & Mondays
🌿 3 Burlington Ave — Tuesday- Friday

Why rotate? Because keeping a community crop table watered, cared for, and protected from the elements is a lot of work. So we share the burden… and you share the crops.

Please continue to leave and exchange plants, flowers, herb trimmings, seedlings, vegetables, cuttings, and growing things of every kind.

Beneath the stairs, something grows.

If you’re saying “they’re going to close the schools anyway” and choosing to stay home- pause.

That’s not realism. That’s resignation.
And it’s exactly what they want.

The board is pushing this forward without approval and without authority.
They don’t need your agreement if they can get your silence.

Refusing to show up doesn’t make you neutral.
It makes you easy to ignore.

Be loud. Be present. Be impossible to overlook.

Your zucchini problem is now a community event.

LEONARGROW is live starting Sunday, May 3!

A weekly neighborhood crop swap.
More days and locations coming—but for now, this is the spot.

If your garden is out of control, bring it.
If it’s not, this is your opportunity.

It’s early—seedlings, plants, and seeds welcome.

Label your stuff. I’m not a botanist. I don’t even play one on TV.

I am founding an extremely serious, definitely not ridiculous collective of feral, badass mothers who will ceremoniously seize control of the local skate park on roller skates while draped in black satin retro bomber jackets emblazoned with "Skatin’s Spawn" tm

I do not know how to skate.

We move forward anyway.

Join the coven.

This and another hot take from my first grader after tonight's BOE meeting:
"Mommy? Do you think the bad people on the BOE don't floss and then bad gunk builds up in their mouths and that's why they talk garbage?"

Swap ’Til You Drop
The Apple Core (NWN HQ) · Sunday May 3 · 11–1
Backyard entrance on Viola

The town would like me to rent an entire park to… exchange clothes. Hard pass.
So we’re doing this at The Apple Core. Yes, I named my house like a marquess in 1820. Lean in.

Maybe you feel weird stopping by. I feel weird literally every moment of my life. Feel better now? Cool. Come.

Bring a blanket. Spread out your stuff. Walk around and see what you find.

Spring stuff for everyone—kids and adults, clothes and sports gear. Good condition only—if you wouldn’t hand it to a friend without apologizing, don’t bring it.
Only bring what fits on your blanket—this is a backyard swap, not a satellite Collingswood Flea Market.

Kids welcome. They can run around.
Bring lunch if you want. Hang out a bit.

No money. No sorting. No system. No masters.

Just:
bring stuff you’d actually give to a friend
take what you’ll actually wear
be normal about it

At the end—this isn’t your house and I’m not your momma. Take your leftovers and donate them yourselves.

Come on over
