Just wanted to drop a line and tell you about a few things going on at Ploughshares. Actually we have a favor to ask. We need everybody to go outside and do their best rain-dance. Perhaps we will give away a 5 gallon shrub for the best rain-dance or host and all night rain-dance marathon. Our eyes are starting to hurt from looking at the sky in search of the smallest sign that the rainy season is on its way.

If rain-dancing is not your thing then you can help us another way. We have been nominated for the San Francisco Chronicle’s Bay List Competition. This is your chance to help let everybody know what you already know; that Ploughshares is one of the coolest businesses in the Bay Area. Simply click here and give us your vote.

We also have an event coming your way this weekend:

Creature-Friendly Garden Workshop
Saturday, November 1st
12:00 – 12:45

Come learn the basics of creating a diverse, beautiful and creature-friendly garden that relies entirely (well, almost entirely) on natural rainfall and uses native, local plants. This event will be presented by Terrel Brand of Oaktown Native Plant Nursery. Hope to see you there.

For all of you backyard fruit growers out there we will be posting our bare root fruit tree stock in the next few weeks. The trees should be here by the second week of January. We are not taking reservations this year, but this shouldn’t be a problem since our manager Michael went way overboard with the trees!

Hope to see you soon,

Michael, Linda H and Linda J
