I drew a quick sketch showing three short rows so people can browse without crowding. If we chalk simple arrows on the pavement, folks will naturally loop back to the start. I'll arrive at 8:30 to help place the tables. Maya, could you take the west shade spot so the seedlings don't sit in direct sun Priya, your idea for a quiet corner for Q&A is great; we can put it near the planters by the fountain. -----Original Message----- From: Maya Chen Sent: October 15, 2025 2:11 PM To: Luis Ortega; Priya Raman Subject: Saturday Seed Swap table layout I measured the plaza at lunch. Five folding tables fit along the brick edge with enough room for a walkway. If we group greens together and keep flowers on the second row, labels will be easier to read. I printed card stock tags with space for plant name, light needs, and a short note. I'll bring twine, clips, and two black markers. Also, I found a small bell we can ring every half hour to remind people to rotate and check the last table. If rain shows up, the awning by the cafe is plan B. -----Original Message----- From: Priya Raman Sent: October 15, 2025 9:03 AM To: Maya Chen; Luis Ortega Subject: Seed Swap kickoff Morning! I reserved the courtyard from 9–12 this Saturday. Let's keep the flow simple: welcome table, drop zone, browse rows, and a small station for care tips. I can prep a one-page guide about watering and soil, plus a short note on sharing extras. If either of you has spare crates or a chalkboard, that would help. I'll bring a thermos of hot tea and a pack of paper cups so volunteers stay comfy. Thanks for jumping in on this; it's going to be a calm and friendly morning.
