FRESH SWAP

From 2-4 p.m. Sunday, July 14 fellow green thumbs may barter produce and foods and talk garden shop at TCG. This is not a farmers market. It's a bartering system of homemade and homegrown goods.

From 6-8 p.m. Monday, July 15, the STAR Center (3873 S. 66th St., Tacoma) will teach you tips and techniques on grilling vegetables, seafood and meat.
