How Do I...?
​... Hold a yard sale? Great! we need sales all over the neighborhood to draw people in. 
1. Send an email to NobleNeighbors@gmail.com with your yard sale address BY MAY 10 to get your street on our map. We'll map your street, but not your sale items - those details happen in the next step.
2. Go to GarageSaleFinder.com to list your address, date, time and sale items. This is really important! The more sales that are listed in one area, the greater the crowd we draw to all of them. 
3. Make signs to direct people from the main road to your sale. Put them up for your sale, and take 'em down when it's done. Be creative with color and BIG THICK letters.
4. Print maps from our web page to hand out to your visitors. Help them find other sales and events. You can find the completed maps after May 15 at the bottom of this page.
​​
​... Sell my craft items or rummage at a group site? Terrific! We need lots of sellers.
Our site that is open to sellers is the Talent of the Heights venue. You'll need to bring your own table or ground cloth and be able to make change for your customers. There is no admission fee for the venue and no vendor fee for your table. That also means there is no "bank" to help you make change.

Email us at NobleNeighbors@gmail.com to tell us what you intend to sell and we'll send you more details.

​ ...Print a copy of the flyer so I can pass it out to my neighbors? 
Bravo! Thanks for encouraging others to participate. Some neighbors print one copy, write a hand-written message in the margin, then print many copies from this one to hand out. Some have encouraged others on the street to have yard sales, others encouraged folks to attend events. Maybe you could also suggest getting together for a block party this summer! Just click on the flyer image to the right and print the pdf file.

Noble Gardeners' Market
Saturdays, July 20 - Sept 21, 2019

For three Saturdays - August 25, September 1 and 8, 2018, we launched a test market to see how much interest there is for neighbors to buy and sell home grown fruit, vegetables and flowers to each other. You can see more about the concept and our experience by clicking here.

The response was tremendous! People came from all over the city and across city boundaries to be part of this hyper-local market. Participants were overwhelmingly people who want to buy from neighbors. If you grow food and flowers in your backyard or in community gardens, plan your 2019 garden so you have excess to sell! We need grower/sellers!

While we'll refine our plans in the next few months, here's your sneak preview: the Noble Gardener's Market will be held on Saturday mornings July 20 - Sept 21, 2019.
