have: al forum plant swap sept 22 - oak mtn park

16 years ago

The Alabama plant swap will be held on Saturday, Sept 22 starting at 10 a.m. at Oak Mountain State park, in the parking lot next to the lake beach and swimming area.

DIRECTIONS:

Take I-65 South to exit 246. Turn right at the bottom of the off-ramp on to Alabama Hwy 119. There are signs which direct you to the Oak Mountain State Park road. FOLLOW THE SIGNS. The road to the park is almost directly across Hwy 119 from the bottom of the exit. The road to the park entrance parallels I-65 South for a short distance and then passes under I-65. There are signs directing you to the park entrance. Ask the gate attendant to direct you to the beach and picnic area. The road to the picnic area is about 2 miles down the road on the right. Turn right, up the hill and follow that road. It is a very winding road. The picnic area is almost at the end of the road. We always park and gather in the parking area.

TRADE LISTS

Use this space to list those items which you have to trade, those things you want or to direct everyone to your Gardenweb trade list. Be sure to update your GW trade list before posting.

PRE-PLANNED TRADES

Use this space to arrange pre-planned trades. Review the trade lists of others and feel free to contact the person about a trade.

UNPLANNED TRADES

Be sure to bring extra items with you which have not been traded in pre-arranged exchanges There is always something you want or someone else wants which becomes an informal, un-arranged trade.

Lunch

We usually break shortly after 11 a.m. for lunch. We would love for everyone to join us whether you bring food or not. If you plan to bring food, please list what you will bring on your post. That way we donÂt wind up with 20 gallons of potato salad or baked beans.

We hope you will come join us. Y'all come!

A copy of our ad: Hi Mr. Schiermann, Thanks for responding so quickly to my inquiry regarding the placing of a notice in the "What's Happening" section of the "Coffee News". I have placed word of your generosity in my post on GardenWeb informing everyone of "CN", and hope we'll all respond by asking our local establishments to not only offer it, but to consider doing business with those who advertise on it's pages. Kindly consider including the following in the next volume: -------------------------------- Oct. 1 - Central Alabama Plant Swap; Oak Mtn. State Park from 10am until, at the Cardinal Pavilion. We swap anything garden related, from live plants to compost, driftwood, mulch, river rock, garden "junk" - even homemade goods. But we mostly have a good time and establish friendships based upon our love of gardening. Lunch is potluck, so bring your favorite dish to share. A donation of $1 to $2 toward pavilion rental is appreciated. For more information e-mail: ourhighlandhome@aol.com. --------------------------------- Hope this meets with everyone's approval. Look for it in the next volume of "Coffee News", and let Mr. Mike Schiermann know how much we appreciate his publication, please. Also, that same day, just outside the park entrance at the Verizon Wireless Music Center, from 1pm until 9pm, there is a "Shelby Blues & BBQ" event (www.shelbybluesandbbq.org). There will be MUCH TO DO there besides food & drink, including watching both the 'Bama and 'all-Barn' games on big-screen-TV's (no bias intended). ;-D In addition, The Plany Odyssey, Myer's Pottery, Hanna's Nursery and John Deere Landscapes are four of the most notable nurseries in the plant business - all within easy driving distance of our swap. 'nuff said..... Me

I have my trade list going--I'm going to be bringing a lot of the same stuff
to try to give away. I know many of y'all say "anything unusual" on your want list,but I don't have too many of those yet. Just tryin' to keep stuff alive like everybody else.

By the way, I like the "Advisory" that shows up on the ordering form page of the Plant Delights catalog I'm looking through:

"ADVISORY: If you have already run your credit cards up to the limit, we suggest that you get a higher credit limit before reading through this catalog."

That guy seems to have a real sense of humor.

Todd,
I noticed that you have updated your list. I am interested in your coreopsis creme brulee. If it is still available, please take a look at my (updated) list and see if there is anything you want.

I want to come but the heat we had this summer about killed everything and I am to afraid to dig anything up that is half alive. Might have some calla lilies white one. I know the lady who used to work at Mont. college said she wanted some, does anyone know who I am talking about? Will have some striped grass that Susan gave me a couple of years ago cant remember the name of it.

Hey Y'all,

I will be coming to the swap and Blake is pretty sure he'll be coming with me. I will have the trades I pre-arranged with Nelson, Wayne, & Jan.
My computer has died (yet again), and I in the process of helping my dad move and trying to sell my house, so I probably won't be able to get to a computer to arrange any more trades.
And I will have mississippi mud cake.

Jackie
