FYI. Former Commissioner Jim Shulman started Community Forklift I believe in the early 2000's. Has grown tremendously with quality products. You will be impressed with the cost savings. See below.

Subject: [Brookland] THIS Saturday, don't miss Community Forklift's Spring Soiree & Garden Sale
Community Forklift's 4th Annual Garden Party
THIS Saturday, March 23, 2013, 9am-5:30pm
4671 Tanglewood Drive, Edmonston MD 20781
(Our huge warehouse is just ten minutes north of Brookland. Find directions at http://www.communityforklift.org/)
THE SALE:
Doors open at 9am. We'll have lots of gently-used lawn & garden tools & supplies for sale (while supplies last). We are also launching a new partnership with ECO City Farms, our neighbors here in Edmonston – so they'll have compost, herb baskets, and vegetable plant seedlings for sale!
We were featured in Adrian Higgin's gardening column in the Washington Post today, so it's gonna be busy! If you're a serious bargain-hunter, then you should:
* arrive early for the best selection
* wear comfy shoes, and
* bring a friend to chat with, in case the checkout line gets long!
THE PARTY:
Wear your best costume! Two-legged and four-legged attendees are encouraged to come in garden party attire – wear your fanciest hat, vintage dress, or seersucker suit. Or, you can come in your favorite gardening gear – well-worn overalls and muddy boots. ALL animals must be on leashes.
10 AM – 5 PM: Door Prize Raffles every hour!
