Anyone from anywhere in Indy and neighboring area/states are invited to come join the fun. The swap will be in September and most anything garden related can be swapped.

If you think you might be interested, please sign up here. I'll be posting all the info for the swap in the next few days.

There will be 'door' prizes just like last year, and some other surprises as well.

Hope to see you at the swap!!

    Ok y'all, here's the info for the swap.....

    It's going to be on saturday September 13th at 2:00 at my house (same place as last year).

    WHAT TO SWAP.....plants, seeds, garden items, crafts etc.
    WHAT TO BRING....table and chairs (optional) boxes to carry your stuff in, camera if ya wanna take some pics, whatever you want to drink, and a covered dish.

    All I need to know from you is.....how many people are coming with you (I'm providing hot dogs and will need to know how many to buy).

    Sometime.... before, during or after the swap, those of you that want to, can take a walk with me through my garden and maybe you'll find a surprise with your name on it. There will also be drawings for prizes.

    If you have any questions, please post them here, these posts go to my email anyway.

    If anyone needs a map just say the word and I'll get one to you.

    If you think you can make it, sign up here.....

    Hope to see you on the 13th!!

    Hi everybody,
    Thought I would take a minute and make a suggestion.....how about everyone that plans on attending the swap, post here and list a few of the plants/seeds you plan on swapping, that fall in these catagories......
    1.Most special (something that reminds you of someone, something passed down in your family etc.)
    2. Largest or smallest plant
    3. Strangest/Most unique
    4. Most fragrant
    5. Odd/Prettiest color
    6. Interesting foliage

    Also list a few of the things you've been looking for that have so far eluded you.

    Posting on here a few things that you plan to bring and what you're looking for will give others a chance to see if they have something you want and vice versa.

    So, don't forget to list what you're looking for and what you are bringing......You never know who might have that special something.

    I just found out today that one of the Master Gardeners in my area is going to put the info about my swap on the Master Gardener website and in the Master Gardener newsletter this week. That should help to spread the word.....
