4. POST IN THE GREENWAY MARKET APP This Saturday, the east courtyard will host our first seed-and-tool exchange. Bring clean, labeled garden supplies between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.; volunteers will sort items by type before the gates open. You do not need to donate anything to take a packet of native flower seeds, but please limit your selection to two packets per household. A local grower will answer planting questions at noon.

  3. Offer
  4. Restrict

Answer: D. Restrict

5. NEIGHBORHOOD REPAIR CAFE The repair cafe will meet in the Cedar Street workshop on the second Thursday of each month. Residents may bring one small household item, such as a lamp, toaster, or loose chair leg, for a volunteer to inspect. Doors open at 6:15 p.m., and check-in ends at 7:30 so volunteers have time to finish repairs before closing at 8:30. Parts are not guaranteed, but basic tools are available. To reduce waiting, people who reserve online by Tuesday receive a numbered arrival slot. When does check-in end?
  1. 7:30 p.m.
  2. 6:15 p.m.
  3. 8:30 p.m.
