I think a swap would be great. Even better, I would just like to meet and tour at someone's place. My place is not beautiful enough yet! I've been working on it only about 2 yrs here, and it's definitely a work in progress. I live near Tupelo near the Natchez Trace visitor center, and that would be a lovely place to meet in spring or fall.
I travel to the Gulf Coast often in spring thru fall, not often in winter except at Christmas, to visit family, and so that would be another place to meet or Hattiesburg, Meridian, or Starkville where MSU has a garden area. I hope others respond with ideas.

Somewhere along the river might be good. Maybe Natchez or Vicksburg?

Y'all are always welcome to join our Alabama swaps. We've had several outside Birmingham at Oak Mountain State Park, one at at home in the Bham suburb of Hoover, one in Prattville near Montgomery and our last one in September was at the Aldridge Bot. Gardens in Hoover. We have a great group and great participation.
