GARDENERS in the Dordogne are invited to trade their plants, cuttings, seeds, produce and preserves at an exchange near Périgueux on April 18.

The fifth Troc aux Plantes takes place between 10.00 and 17.00 in the Salle des Fêtes in the village of Breuilh, near Vergt, about 20km south of the Dordogne capital towards Bergerac.

It is free to attend. For details, see http://tinyurl.com/trocplantes or email Margaret Wells at margwells@orange.fr
