Hi Amy, Oldherb usually has a plant swap later in spring. I have heard it's excellent. I have not been able to attend due to my schedule but hopefully this year. Kin

Amy, I winter sow many things and will probably end up with too many. I'd love to swap around May sometime. Keep me posted.

I am in pdx and interested in plant trades- I have wintersown a lot of things, a swap later in the spring would be great. I also have a dozen varieties of old garden roses that I am attempting to root. First try at it, hopefully some will make it!

I would love to swap, although I don't have a ton of stuff to share since I'm starting a garden. I do have lots of siberian Irises. I'm particularly interested in hellbores, euphorbias, ground covers, and perennial flowers. Let me know if you decide to have a swap. I went to OldHerb's in the fall and it was great.

I'd also love to swap. I went to the last swap and it was great! I have a fair number of ornamental grasses that have "volunteered" throughout my garden. I'll keep checking for a date!

I would be interested in a swap. I donÂt have a lot to offer but I do have a few odds and ends around. I'll keep an eye out for a date and location.

wow, I think my post came off a tad bit confusing. I am not able to organize an actual plant swap at my home - though if someone else did plan one in Portland, I would definitely attend. I was just asking about in-person trades around the area...like a garden visit and plant swap on a more intimate level.

Sorry, but having a day job, being a professional artist, and trying to volunteer for more than I can already manage keeps me from planning a big swap. :(

Look for zephrineD. She's in your area and does great swaps! Here, I'll give her page:

Hi Amy - I'm actually hosting a plant-swap on Sunday March 13, 10am-2pm, 3522 SE 8th Ave (3 blks So. of Powell). I went to Old Herbs Plant Swap last year (which was great)and thought it would be fun to try and organize one for those of us closer in. Anyways, I've put notices in a couple neighborhood newspapers and will have one in the Oregonians events calendar(It's advertised as the "1st Annual Brooklyn Neighborhood Plant Swap." As everyone knows, the more who participate the more selection for everyone. Come on down!

Brand spankin' new to gardenweb. So glad I found it. Kat

Way to go, KAT!

I'm doing a couple of 1-1 garden visit/Swaps a week now - and can really use more seed starting/potting medium, peat or perlite - if you just want seed or plants, and have nada that's growing - that works for me - I have hundreds os seed options and can get you growing! Come now - as my fragrant daphne woos and cat bear cuttings, and a mature magnolia is starting to bloom.

Incentive: I'll provide tea, herbs or craft brew for those who bring me seed-medium or a bag of jiffy tray/or pellet bag!

Oh, I recently dug 3 huge clumps - so have ruffly pink heritage Peony tubers to share - if you are patient - these could really be stunning...and may grow for decades.

See my Swap List for a sample of other stuff.

Many more unlisted flower & veggie seed packs ready now to split for immediate WS & Spring planting.

Everyone - please remember to use greywater outdoors for planters, 1-2x weekly watering of beds, & prepare to mulch this season - as we could have water restrictions and scorching sun.

LOVE this February weather though!

It looks as if i'm a little to late for the March 13th plant swap. I was wondering if anyone knew of any others in the Portland area in the coming months. I feel like I always read about these wonderful events after the fact.

Any help would be great
