The Fair Lawn Garden Committee sponsored a plant swap Sunday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Recycling Center on Saddle River Road.
Residents and non-residents braved the stormy weather Sunday to take part in a Fair Lawn Garden Committee-sponsored Plant Swap at the Recycling Center on Saddle River Road. Garden Committee chairwoman Jane Spindel said the swap, which ran from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., attracted plant lovers from Fair Lawn, Glen Rock, Ridgewood and even Ringwood, who brought plants to exchange one-for-one, or purchase for $2 each. This year, Young Paek, owner of Cliff Garden Florist, donated 30 lilacs — distributed free to residents — and an additional 10 rebloomers to sell as profit for the committee. The proceeds from Sunday's swap will be used for "greening" Fair Lawn. -- Follow Fair Lawn-Saddle Brook Patch on Facebook and Twitter, and subscribe to receive …
