I would be interested, especially if it was in the Concord area.

That would be great. Let's see if anyone else would be interested. Do you have a good place in mind for the concord area? I'm writing on behalf of my grandmother she will have lots of things to trade. I will have some stuff too. What date would work for you?

I'm hosting one in Rutherfordton, NC on August 27th. This is near the Biltmore, Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway . . many lovely sights to see. So far 71 people have responded. I look very forward to meeting many GW people, friends I've come to know 'on here', no Newbie will go home empty handed, working on how to keep confusion to a minimum now (going to send an Update letter so prearranged swaps/rides can be set up now, also want name tags worn -- any suggestions very welcome) especially since August is a common VAC month (gardeners divide perennials, some will wish to totally do away with plants to make space for new cultivars, go through seeds to plan next year's garden and much more), many are taking the week or weekend to come to the swap from afar and then visit friends in the area and/or VAC. All is open to swap -- plants, seeds, tools, birdhouses, gourds, magazines, books . . . if you can fit it in the car and want to trade may be the time. Katie

Yes, there are others who are coming. We'll have an ad in at least 2 local papers, and it's already on "Charlotte on the Cheap", so I expect around 15 people, which is what we had last time. Get this... when I reserved the park shelter by phone, instead of hearing "Plant Swap", the agent heard "Plant Flop", HAHA! :) So that's our official title for this time.

I would be interested, but I am pretty new to gardening. I'm not sure I would have anything anyone would want ;)

I am on call at work on the 12th, so I can't guarantee that I would be able to come then. What kind of plants is your grandmother looking for??

I don't think she's looking for anything in particular. She just loves gardening, as do I. She often throws away plants because she does'nt have anyone to give them to. I went to a swap just recently and told her how much fun it was. She would like to go just for the fun of it. We can come up with a better date than that if it would be better for everyone. What works for everyonr else?

Hey guys,
I live in Harrisburg (between Charlotte and Concord) and have lots of perennials to share if you want to meet here and dig. It's way to hot for me to dig now but if you want to dig your own you are welcome to. I live right off Hwy 49. The earlier in the day the better.

Sandie, I just sent you an e-mail. I would love to come get some next weekend if the offer still stands. Thanks

I didn't receive an email.
Are you talking about tomorrow the 12th or the 19th?
Either one would be fine with me as long as it's early in the day. Let me know. Why don't you try to email again, ok? I think maybe the spam blocker might have blocked it for some reason.

I'd love to attend a plant swap in/near Charlotte. I'm going to my first swap this weekend in Raleigh! Are people still interested in doing this?

OH dear. I just happened upon this post. If perhaps you guys do decide to have a plant swap, and it's in Concord, count me in, too. laineyplantgrower, you said you're going to the swap in Garner? (Raleigh)? Hope to see you there!

Thanks,
Vickie
