    To begin with, Erica is an exemplary GW trader extraordinaire;...generous nearly beyond belief. If you are even remotely considering trading with Erica, you'd totally be remiss not to do so. Erica absolutely rocks! I can't possibly recommend her as an GW trader highly enough! - Should have posted this at least three days ago, really, but life gets kinda weird sometimes and I'm no more immune than anyone else. - Bottom line: You'll totally love dealing with Erica, don't pass-up the opportunity!

    Another uber-fab trade with Erica! I received her end of a plant trade yesterday and the plants she sent arrived in fantastic shape, happily rippin' ready for transplant! "Major thanks, again, Erica! As always, you totally rock! :)

    I've participated in Erica's swaps and she is a wonderful hostess. She comes up with creative, fun games and she has excellent prizes. Erica has great communication and always tells you what to expect. Erica rocks!! I will trade with her anytime.

    Regarding this year's (2014) Spooktacular Halloween RR Swap:

    Yo-Yo-Yo!! My uber kewl package of Spooktacular seeds arrived today, just before "All Hallows Eve (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween)"! And to think, even though our fantabulous USPS, for whatever reason, delayed the delivery of my package, I was yet included with the rest of you in this totally fun swap,...thanks to Erica! So glad I didn't miss out. :) - "Major thanks, Erica!"

    I love all my seeds from Erica's Spooktacular swap. She packs well, ships fast and is a great hostess. And astute judge of pumpkin carving. You will learn many things just from looking up the things on her trade list.

    I've traded twice with Erica and she was a part of my Vine & Herb Swap in March 2014. She is friendly, fast and very generous when it comes to amounts to trade/give away. She is a attentive to details and a courteous communicator. I would trade with her any time!

    EricaBraun (Erica) This lady ROCKS! We have been in more than one swaps such as OBF/FOTESS/Secret Santa Swap (SSS) 2014 and probably more but lost count. For my December birthday, she gave me a CUTE little porcupine card with a little mouse holding a small stick with a present daggling to keep away from the porcupine. TOO CUTE! She gave me not one but six baggies of seeds such as Forest Fire Sage Salvia Coccinea 2014, Lady in red Sage Salvia Coccinea 2014, Scarlet Sage 2014, Pink Salvia Coccinea 2014, Rose - Ivory Peach 2014, and Coral Nymph Sage Salvia Coccinea 2014 seeds. She is so quick in responding to e-mails and mails seeds in a very timely manner.

    Mrs. EricaBraun (Erica) was one of my Secret Santas in the Secret Santa Swap (SSS) 2014. She gave me Tommy Toe and Black Plum seeds. Thank YOU for being so kind to me!!!

    Erica sent a card with very nice seeds in the SS Swap. She is a relatively new member but participates with enthusiasm in every swap she joins or hosts.
    Thanks Erica

    Erica sent me some much desired caramel Bhut Jolokia and very tasty Black Naga ... these are hot pepper seeds. Christmas season rolls on, right into Ground Hog Day! Thanks, Erica!

    Erica,...you always totally rock! Major happy dance thanks for the wonderful card and seeds you sent me for this years' 2014 Secret Santa Seed Swap! - Here's wishing you-n-yours a very happy and healthful new year full of special times and memories! :)

    Good communication. A pleasant, speedy, hassle-free trade. I look forward to an opportunity to trade with her again.

    Erica hosted a great Valentines Day Group Swap. She made it fun with contests and spent a lot of time and energy working on selecting great seeds. She even included many seeds from my want list and Valentines Day goodies. I highly recommend Erica for future group swaps. Thanks

    I was in Erica's My Love Is Like a Valentine Seed Swap and Erica made it fun for all of us. She found some Rezha Macedonian pepper seeds for me, too. We were co-participants in the New Year Theme Garden swap, and she sent me many packets of nice seeds in that one, too.

    Both of us are new to GW this year. I learn from looking up things I never ran across before, like (what did I just look up yesterday?) Mary E.

    I also participated in Erica's Valentine Seed Swap, and just like her 4th of July Seed Swap, this one was wonderful! She is a thoughtful hostess who makes her swaps fun for everyone. I received so many varieties of seeds that I can hardly wait until spring to plant them.

    Had a seed trade with Erica. She mailed very quickly in a bubble wrap and card.

    Unfortunately, even with the "non-machinable" surcharge postage, the post office had run the envelope through the machine and some seeds are crushed.

    Erica did contact me and offered to reverse the trade.

  • stardrifting
    9 years ago

    Did you contact her to let her know? I'm sure she would remedy the problem; Erica is a most wonderful trader who cares very much about other people and her swaps.

    Just had a wonderful experiance trading with her. She sent several seeds I had been wanting to try for a while. And I love how she packed them! Thanks again, Darla.

    I enjoyed trading with Erica. Quick replies, quick mailing and wonderfully packaged plants & seeds. A wonderful person to exchange with.

    I was in Round Robin Seed Swap 2015 and Erica was prompt in sending out the box like I meant prompt, the same day!! She responds to e-mails in a quick manner and has a good selection of seeds to share.

  • cottonwood468

    I gave away a little too many of my own Bhut Jolokia seeds and Erica is cheerfully sharing some she came across in her seed trading adventures.

  • cryptid

    Very recently completed a plant swap with Erica, and, as usual, she sent an abudance of everything, which arrived promptly and in perfect condition. For my part, due to some personal issues, it took me something like 10,000 years to finally get my box off to her, dang it. Bottom line, Erica's trading/swapping practices here on GardenWeb are always of the highest integrity. Likewise, she is also quite understanding and forgiving. Frankly, if you don't trade/swap with Erica when the opportunity arises, it will most definitely be your loss, in my humble opinion.

    I too had a great experience trading with Erica, she makes it super fun and exciting, especially to someone new to trading like myself.

    Erica is a well-organized and prompt hostess for many seed swaps. I just rec'd another great swap sponsored by her and highly recommend that anyone join when you see that she is involved. Thanks Erica!

    Received a wonderful card with great seeds and even a recipe from Erica in the SSS 2015. She's one of the best of Gardenweb. Thanks Erica. Margo

    Erica is a standout among swap hostesses. I was in the recent Your Most Beautiful/Delicious Swap. It was timely and fun. Above and beyond the call ... two miscreants joined and didn't send seeds. Erica chose to offer us participants more seeds from her own trade list.

  • midwestfarmwife

    Erica was hostess for the 2015 Seed Purge Swap and sent me a great selection of seeds. She also organized side swaps with others for this trade which made it even more enjoyable. Thanks again Erica!

  • Sandra

    Erica is an amazing swap hostess and trader. I've participated in her Halloween and Seed Purge Swaps and she has sent me a nice selection of seeds. She is always prompt with her responses and sends seeds out quickly (and with tracking numbers... so that people like me can constantly update their tracking page ;)). I also did a side trade with Erica and she was very generous with seeds. Highly recommend participating in Erica's swaps and trades!

    Secret Santa Seed Swap 2015 I received Cosmos, Gloriosa Daisy seeds and Fleabane Daisy
    seeds as well as the recipe and cute cards. It has been a dream of mind to have have several kinds of daisies. Maybe this year my patch will grow! Heidi
