Plant Swap This Sunday!

16 years ago

Plan on arriving 9 to 10 AM to walk through the garden, potluck at noon, and plant swap at 1 PM. Interest permitting, there will be a side trip to see nearby public plantings of palms as well as other woodies & perennials. Please bring the following: a few or several plants or garden-related items, a food item, a chair if you have one. Unload in driveway and park on Sedgwick Lane. Email me if you need directions.

It went well with over 25 people, although not everyone could stay for the day.
Basjoo banana and Saccharum arundinacea

Lantana horrida and L. camara 'Miss Huff'; both perennial with a good mulch.
