Last Year's Swap Plants - This Fall at TWG???

I am so thrilled with some of the plants you guys brought me last year, I just wanted to say thanks. A couple I can't remember the name of, so I will post some photos when I have a second.

The white asclepias is so great. The plant shape and height is perfect and I can't wait to see this year's blooms. I want it to get big enough to divide. The monarda, geranium, chocolate chip ajuga - all great!

We have to have a fall swap this year as I will have tons to divide. I hesitate to say that the vole devastation may finally be over and overcome!

I know I will have:

Iris Immortality

Phlox Daivd

Lady's Mantle

Lamb's Ear

Creeping Phlox - white

Hostas

Hydrangea Annabelle

Feverfew

Chives

Golden oregano

Posters just organize their own swap. Some people have one every year like Annie in NH and Fran in MA. I had one last year and I loved hosting it. I am hoping to have some interest for a fall one this year.

And everyone is welcome. If interest builds, you will see posts on a date and time and then people post what they have to share. Nearer to the date, the host posts for things like refreshments.

Just keep checking and you will see one forming in your area.
