| Where is the best place to buy a wide variety of daylilies at a good price in the Louisville to Frankfort area of Kentucky? We want to plant a lot of daylilies and wanted to buy them at a reasonable price. We were at a nursery last year and they wanted upward of $20 plus per daylily, which seemed high.
thanks! |

| Hi Marcia - I'm open to just about any of them. We'd like a mix of colors. We'll be putting them in an area at the base of our driveway where there are several Locust trees and it gets shade sometimes, etc, but would look pretty with flowers that require low maintenance, like daylilies. We live on five acres, so we try to keep the maintenance lower on things far from the house but we do love the idea of a splash of color near the road. |

| I bought some nice ones from Quarles Daylilies at Waddy, KY near you I think. Here is a link to My Review on them at the Rate and Review Vendors Forum here at GW. It includes the link to their site also. I plan on being a repeat buyer this season. Sue |

| thanks, everyone! the offers of daylilies are sooooo generous but I'll feel more comfortable attending the swap next year when I actually have some things to share! we moved into our new house this time last year, but by the time we settled in, the drought hit and we didn't get anything really planted other than our garden. but next year...I'll be there! |

| Oh kygirl...why not come and join in the fun this season, and meet several of the more local GWers at the swap? The more, the merrier...and I'm sure you will go home with some goodies. I have some things to just 'share' as well as for trading....so long as I know what folks would like for me to bring them. If you don't feel you have anything of value to contribute, there are plenty of other 'useful' gardening things that gardeners welcome receiving.
Here is a brief list of some thing that were brought in past years that were not plants, bulbs, rhizomes, cuttings, etc....I copied it from another post... I might add here too that though some of the newer gardeners may not have much to bring to trade/share, that there are always other things welcome for swapping/bringing to contribute in some way. Brownies!
Flower pots of all kinds/hanging baskets.
Seed stashes
Seed Baggies
Garden junk
Garden Art/Signs
Plants, bulbs, cuttings, of course
Winter sown babies
Bird Houses
Bird feeders
Garden books/others
And I even passed off a dozen extra jelly jars I had taking up room that I would never use. The ideas are endless. Additionally, in walking around your property, you may even notice things that you could bring cuttings of....like shrubs or something. Think about it...please Sue...swap ringleader |

As Sue said....anything you bring will be appreciated. I always have coffee for everyone....how about brownies or donuts to go with the coffee??? PLEASE COME !!!!! It is at my house. |

I will add my 'please come' to Sue and Marcia
I always bring things to share- I don't need near as much to go home with me We have so much fun -chatting about gardens and flowers, problems and successes- Marcia has a wonderful garden to tour- it's so nice to put names with faces I can bring you some daylilies- I really need to thin them anyway *have we twisted your arm enough yet?* (grin)
