Green Dynamite at The Op-Shop






Front Forty is excited to participate in General Economy, Exquisite Exchange (GEEE) from Cream Co. (Chicago) as part of Adhocity at the new alternative art space, the Op Shop in Hyde Park. GEEE is a seasonal garden store grounded in the non-commercial, slow-profit exchange systems of neighbors.

For the month of April, GEEE has all sorts of green things for sale or trade, including: FFP's Green Dynamite (tubes of plant seeds native to the Chicago region) as well as vegetable seeds (tomatoes, basil and lettuce), seedlings, April plants, houseplants, a mound of compost, gardening books, handcrafted tomato trellises and lettuce tables, vases and the like.

Cream Co. says feel free to bring any seeds or seedlings you’d like to share, or a favorite recipe, or a houseplant or garden pot, you'd like to trade, donate or sell. Details below:
