Place: Augusta, is in NE Ohio on route 9, in-between Minerva and Summitville, in Carroll County. The swap will be held at the Fireman’s Park on Andora Rd NE, you need to turn north at the Strawberry Festival Banner, the park is just up the road.
Time: 10.00 AM
This is our first swap. We have had a lot of interest in this and have been placing flyers in the surrounding areas. Anyone close enough that would like to join us, welcome. Come, meet new people, make new friends, enjoy yourselves, and get some beautiful plants. Please e-mail me if you have any questions.
1. Trading Materials: plants, well rooted cuttings potted up, bulbs, shrubs, nice sized seedlings, garden material, lawn or garden ornaments, gardening implements etc. Please mark all plants with name or if name is unknown mark the care needed on a tag.
2. Plan For The Day:
10:00 to 12:00 – people arrive, sign-in with the number of plants they have, get their name
tag. Place plants in viewing and swap area, they will be marked with plants varieties. Visit
with the other traders, and view the plants.
Noon: Lunch, after lunch door prizes will be awarded
1:00 – Swap begins
Round 1 1-plant choice
Round 2 1-plant choice
Round 3 pick two plants
Round 4 pick three plants etc.
3. Door Prizes: We will have door prizes. If you would like to donate anything for a door prize
it would be appreciated. A donation can be any thing you would enjoy receiving yourself. A special plant you would like to share, a craft item, something you think a gardener would appreciate.
4. Pot Luck Lunch: Please bring a dish to share with a serving utensil. Please bring you own
beverage with personal plates and silverware. There will be a donation jar if you would like to help with the cost of the shelter rental.
We will have a table with brochures from the area cottage businesses. Some of you may enjoy visiting them while in our area. Carroll County has a wealth of interesting places and things to see and visit. There will be no selling of any kind.
If you are looking for a special plant, ask here. Someone might have one they are willing to share or they may be willing to make a private trade.
We had our first swap last year and over 50 people attended. We had loads of fabulous food and lots of beautiful plants and great fellowship with friends. I hope everyone can make it again this year. Twila |

I have three cute door prizes plus thought I might put in a pot of Japanese Iris for a door prize, named Ink on Ice or Good Omen.
still checking out things as I sit and watch the weeds grow. |

Shasta, I did take a few, I just have to do better this year.
I still have a week before I can bend and two weeks before I can lift but thankfully I got a lot of weeding done before and did get some plants potted up. The Japanese named iris are still selling around 10 on the internet, so I thought that might make a nice door prize. Just keep looking everyday, that all I can do right now. I have columbine and forget-me-not coming up everywhere. We had a frost here last night so I guess it is a good thing that I didn't have my plants out yet. |

| The frost missed us. Hope you're feel better, Twila. I know you'll really be ready to get back in the garden when you're feeling better. Ralph will be bringing a nice door prize. We're working on a large flowerbed for the local historic society and we need plants for full sun. I'd especially like some bee balm if anyone has some to spare. mao |

| Cathy, I will see if I can come up with some bee balm. I love the fact that we had so many people bringing such awesome door prizes last year. I can't wait to see what you guys are going to bring. |
