The Care & Share Thrift Shoppes will host their Green Fair on Saturday, May 7, from 10am – 5pm, in the Souderton Center, 783 Route 113.

Returning as a special speaker will be radio personality and organic gardening guru, Mike McGrath, host of WHYY’s You Bet Your Garden. Mike will lead two informational sessions on organic gardening.

• 11am – Grow your best tasting tomatoes ever
• 2pm – Organic Answers to all your Gardening Questions

Vendors will have the opportunity to promote their business in a tent set up in the Souderton Center parking lot. “Our shoppers are very eco-conscience consumers. Shopping at a thrift shop is a form of recycling.” explained Sarah Bergin, the Executive Director of the Care and Share Thrift Shoppes. “Our shoppers are looking for businesses that support their earth friendly values. I am very excited to have Mike McGrath returning! Mike will share his wealth of knowledge about organic gardening as well as his enthusiasm for thrift shopping!”

Vendors participating are: Blooming Glen Farm, Guidance for Growing, Living Hope Farm, Mennonite Central Committee’s Material Resource Center, Skippack Creek Farm, Space Mart Self-Storage, Truly Pure & Natural, and Wash Tyme Handmade Soaps. St. Rep. Katharine Watson is also planning on stopping by.

The Care and Share Thrift Shoppes goal with the Green Fair is to introduce the public to our shoppes and other local businesses. “We take recycling very seriously at the Care & Share. We are committed to the reusing of the products which are donated to us. If we do not sell them in our shoppes, we take extra steps to make sure they are responsibly recycled elsewhere,” Bergin states.
