Yes, Daisy, I'm excited to say I just heard about the spring fling from Linda T at a district garden club luncheon. I can't wait.

I heard there was also going to be a plant swap soon in Memphis. Do you know anything about that? Our garden club is doing our first in Millington on June 11 at the farmers' market.

The plant swap you may be referring to is the one several of us call the West TN garden plant swap. It is April 16th at the Good Shepherd Methodist church on Summer just past Sycamore View from 9 to 1. We've been doing a spring and fall swap for several years now. It's very informal.

Here's an update for the 2014 Spring Fling! Please join us!
