2013 MAG Spring Swap: Plants You WANT List

Saturday, May 11, 2013 from 10am to 1pm
at GardengrammaâÂÂs Gorgeous Encampment in Burtonsville (see link below)

KEY THINGS WE MUST DO (read carefully!):

WANT LIST DOs and DONâÂÂTs:

  • DO post a list of the plants you WANT on this thread. Please add Latin names and cultivar names, as applicable, if you can.

DO list any other garden stuff, such as seeds, tools, pots, magazines, books, and gnomes that you want. Somebody else might have it and want to get rid of it!

DO read other people's lists. If you see things you have and want to arrange a trade, please e-mail the person directly via private e-mail. To e-mail the person, click on their name at the top of their post.

DO update your lists when you think of more things you want.

DO feel free to update your member page with your Haves and Wants and to link your post here to any Plant Exchange page you may have.

DO NOT arrange trades on this thread. Please arrange them via private e-mail.

DO NOT use this thread for your Haves. That's what the MAG Spring Swap: Plants you have thread is for.

DOs and DONâÂÂTs for the SWAP:

  • DO wear a nametag (of your screen name).

DO label your motor vehicle with a big, visible label (of your screen name).

DO label your plants. The plant labels do not need to be fancy. Popsicle sticks, plastic spoons, or masking tape are fine.

DO mark reserved plants (i.e., plants which you already arranged a trade for) so that other people do not take them by mistake. (It helps to put them somewhere less accessible to the general plant shopper, too.)

DO take plants labeled âÂÂFreeâ or âÂÂPlease TakeâÂÂ. (In fact, PLEASE DO take plants labeled âÂÂFree" or âÂÂPlease TakeâÂÂ. In double fact, take many of those plants!)

DO NOT take anything marked "Reserved" or labeled for someone else.

DO ask if you are not sure whether it is ok for you to take certain plants.

DO protect the plants you are taking home with you by putting them into your car so there is no confusion.

DO, when you leave, take home (or sneak into somebody elseâÂÂs vehicle) the plants you brought that nobody wanted.

LEAVE NO TRACE - DO NOT leave any plant leftovers for Gardengramma to deal with.


FAQ #1: CAN I COME EVEN THOUGH I DONâÂÂT HAVE ANY PLANTS TO TRADE?

Answer: Yes, you can come even though you don't have any plants to trade. Your main assignment is to bring food or other items for the potluck. (Chocolate-containing foods are strongly encouraged.) Please discuss your potluck contributions at the MAG Spring Swap Food thread, not here. Also, note that, in many cases, the reason people are bringing these particular plants to the swap for you to take home is because the plants are, um, âÂÂvigorousâÂÂ. Also, we want to enable new gardeners as much as we can, so that in a few years, you will have...

    Oh Oh kewl....I'm the first. Yippee.

    Hi guys- all I want are vinca minor- not the variegated type- too invasive. Also tomatoes, preferably old fashioned varieties and strawberries and any other very plants that you think I might like, Also any other good ground cover and water lilies in exchange for lotus. You know whatever is on my list can be dug when you are here except for water willow- very invasive-I had my whole pond totally redone because they were so bad.

    A friend of mine would love some hostas. He didn't specify any particular type.

  • shadysite
    10 years ago

    I am just back from five days in the hospital and ruptured appendix. Long recovery expected, but will attend the exchange with the help of my trusty husband. As soon as I have a bit more energy I will review all the messages and then ask your indulgence to post the list I make here as I've found it is so easy to miss an email when they pour in every day. That way people will know whether I have somehow missed their particular email.

    Annebert, I didn't realize that you were not getting my emails. Yes, I do want one each of the dahlias.

    Thanks so much to you all for your patience. Lisa

  • annebert
    10 years ago

    rhubarb
    raspberries
    brugmansia

  • Ann

    Lisa, We need to keep this thread for only the want lists. If you would like to start a thread of trades just for you...that might do what you need. Then edit your post here to include your list and a link or prompt to that thread.

    **Lists only here.**

    (No discussions or arranging. You can prompt if someone does not have their email/messaging set up, but none else please.)

  • shadysite

    TINA asked me to start a new thread since I wanted to make sure that I had captured everyone's emails from my time in hospital. I am now facing complication 2, but my husband has offered to stand in for me, bring and collect everything, and even bring the food.

    Will everyone please look at my last because there are many things I asked for, but did not receive a response on, and I do not want people to expect we've made an agreement and not get it.

    Thanks, Lisa

  • janetm_md

    I'm the PTA landscaping chair for my daughters elementary school. We totally revamped the gardens last year/started from scratch and while better, things are still VERY sparse. I'd take just about anything that takes full sun and isn't fussy (except daylilies). Particular wants would be:
    Black Eyed Susans
    Yarrow-any color, not picky
    Sedum- Autumn Joy is fine
    Coreopsis-any color, any kind

  • springplanter
    10 years ago

    list is short this year as most of time is on the addition to the house. If anyone still has , I would love to adopt:
    dicentra (bleeding heart) any color
    wood poppy
    blueberry bush

    Many thanks

  • janetm_md
    10 years ago

    I just remembered one more thing I could use for my daughters school-liriope, any color is fine. We're using it to edge gardens and I need a ton.
