| It's is time for the annual spring swap so come one - come all! If you don't have plants you can bring along garden tools, garden ornaments or books to trade. Just come, meet other gardeners, bring your food to share and just have fun.
2009 SPRING PLANT SWAP
Date: 30 May, 2009
Bring your extra plants and join in the fun! Swap Materials: perennial plants, shrubs, well-rooted cuttings and divisions (potted up) and bulbs. We swap plants that are well established, of good size (size you would be happy to buy at the store on sale), and in pots that are approx 6 inches across x 6.5 inches tall - or larger). Bring along photos of your plants if you can. Please mark if they are invasive or not ... mini blinds cut up and written on with #2 pencil make great tags. Mark all plant materials with the plant name and care required. Put your email address on back of tag. Check out plant photos and tags from a previous swap: http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/MagicKiwi1/2007 SPRING PLANT SWAP/ Gift Exchange: If you wish to participate in the Gift Exchange drawing, please bring along one, unwrapped, new, garden-related item, valued at $5 to $10 (enough advance notice for you to be able to find bargains!). Present your item at Registration to receive your gift drawing ticket. Only those who donate an item will be eligible to participate in the exchange. Please only bring one gift each. PLAN FOR THE DAY:
This is a Round Robin Swap.
Tips for the Day: bring a folding chair to sit in and relax. Bring along a dish to pass for the pot luck – we have some of the best cooks around and the food is always delicious! The City Park has a children's play area and rest rooms for your convenience. If you bring children with you, please bring someone to watch them at all times so that they are safe and you can relax and visit with the other swappers and make your choices. You will need to have some way to transport your plants from your vehicle to the swap area and vice versa, so bring along your wheel barrow, wagon, sled etc. MARK YOU CALENDAR NOW!!!
