| Here's the info...
What: The Spring Plant Swap for the Greensboro/High Point and surrounding areas Where: Oak Hollow Park - Shelter #1 (directions below) When: May 5th 2007 What time : The shelter is ours from 11 to 3. We can get there earlier and I'd like to suggest a 10:30 set up time and we'll start the swapping at 12:00. This is the same place that we held it last fall. We'll stick pretty close to the way we've learned to do things at the Raleigh Swap, so if you've been to that then you have a good idea of how things will be. I'll try to remember the bell this time! There are bathrooms and a playground for the kiddies right next to our shelter. Since the playground is right beside the shelter it might be best if the kids are not in the shelter during the main swap. Don't want anyone to get squooshed or hurt. I don't have John's extensive knowledge of plants so I thought we'd let the people that bring the plants answer any questions that you may have before we begin. If you've arranged a special trade it would be easiest to do that in the parking lot near your cars. We should be small enough to do it this way for now. There is a handicap ramp next to the shelter. If some of you have kid's wagons it makes it easier to unload. I'll try to locate and bring one for any of you that don't have one. Would you all like to do a potluck this year or hotdogs and fixins? I think I can persuade my hubby to man the grill if we decide on hotdogs. Now for the directions!
Once you've found the entrance there are only 2 shelters in this area and we're in #1. This is part of the Oak Hollow Dam/Lake on Hwy 68/Eastchester in High Point. Hope to see everyone there!! Thanks, Deborah

| I tried to find this park on Saturday, but the only signs I found led me to the Oak Hollow Marina, several different times. Even asked at a gas station, but the person there said they only knew where the marina was, not any other part of the park. Is this a well-known area? I sure couldn't find it, but I haven't lived in this area very long. Still have all my plants, potted up and labeled nicely! |

| I'm so sorry you couldn't find us! The marina is on the back side of the park. We were on the front side on Hwy68 or Eastchester which runs right off of I-40, no turns. It's the next drive past the Drexel Heritage Furniture building. We're going to do this again in the fall (our 2nd fall event) and I'll try to help you to find us better. Meanwhile I know a new group in High Point that's just getting started they're having a 'bring a plant' to get aquainted meeting this month. Also I have quite a bit I can share with you if you'll email me. |
