Garden Party

3rd Annual Garden Party/Plant Swap
Saturday June 4th at 12:00pm

I'm hoping the weather will cooperate this year, and we will have a good turnout for the swap this time. It's been a little sparse in the past, but now that this is the third time around, I'm hoping that people have a better idea of what to expect.

I've also expanded the guest list quite a bit, and created a FaceBook Event to help people remember the date. I'll bug/remind them again next week.

Here's the invite:


The basic premise is to share different types of plants among all the attendees.


What you should bring:

1) ONE flat of plants from any of the local garden centers or home stores.
If each person does this, there will be a nice variety available in the swap. I will separate them by type (annual, perennial, bulbs, etc.) and then we can divvy them up. You aren't obligated to take one of each—take only what you want.

2) Optional: Bring any plants from your yard that need to be thinned out or divided. You are not required to purchase extra plants—this part is strictly voluntary, for those who have the resources in their yard, and want to do the digging!

3) Optional: Extra seeds or seed packets that you'd like to share.
I know every year I save a TON of seeds from my columbines, marigolds, hollyhocks, dill, and all kinds of other stuff.

If you plan to attend, please let me know what you intend to bring, so that we can coordinate colors, and not get too many duplicates in the swap.

***Snacks and drinks will be provided, so you only need to bring plants!!!***

Photos from last year include: coleus, impatiens, mondra, verbena...

yellow tomatoes, garlic chives, snow-in-summer, and other stuff I can't remember...
