Directions to the Olympia Spring Trade: From north of Olympia, take I-5 to Exit 109. At the bottom of the ramp, turn right onto Martin Way, then immediately begin moving left into the left turn lane (either one). At the light, turn left onto College Street. From south of Olympia, take I-5 Exit 109. At the bottom of the ramp, turn left onto Martin Way. Continue straight, go under the freeway, then move into the left turn lane. At the light, turn left onto College Street. Follow College Street for approximately 3.6 miles (in the traffic circle, take 2nd exit) to the Yelm Highway (Safeway is on the left). Turn left onto the Yelm Highway. On the Yelm Highway, get in the right lane. At the intersection with Ruddell Road, turn right onto Ruddell Road (Ruddell Road and Yelm Highway are the same road for a couple hundred feet here) On Ruddell Road, bear left in the curve to continue on the Yelm Highway. If you pass the school on your right, you're on the right track. Continuing straight, pass the AmTrak station below and to your left. Continue straight to Spurgeon Creek Road (there's a gas station that keeps changing hands at the intersection. Currently, I believe it's a Texaco). Turn right onto Spurgeon Creek Road. Follow Spurgeon Creek Road to 80th. Turn right onto 80th, and go up the hill past the Fire Station. The clubhouse is at the top of the hill, and there will be a sign there directing you to the ballfield, about a half-mile to the right. The address for the clubhouse is 8005-1 Thrulake Circle SE, in Olympia. There will be no bathroom facilities available at the ballfield, and I'm having trouble getting the Association to reply to my e-mails asking them to open the clubhouse bathrooms for the trade, so plan on no bathroom facilites available.

You are certainly welcome to come and get free plants - and advice and the company of really nice people. If you feel awkward about showing up empty-handed (no reason to), you can bring bakery treats, crafts items, foodstuffs, garden gadgets, etc. One guy used to bring honey. Another used to bring worm tea. Lots of people bring empty plant pots. One lady brought garden magazines 2 trades in a row, which were very popular. If you have used window blinds, people cut those up to use as labels. Just show up at the appointed time on the appointed date, and dive right in! I have a free pile, and that is a guilt-free zone. Take what you want, but want what you take. Please spread the word to all your friends, coworkers, customers, complete strangers, etc.

Hi!! I'm interested in coming to the trade. I put aside some cuttings and rootings but am not sure if this is a time to swap seeds as well or is that better done at a different trade/swap. May I request you put some multiplier onions aside for me? I'll just bring my starts and seeds and go from there! Thanks I am excited!

We're coming. My brother might also come since Olympia is much closer for him.

I'm pretty sure we will be there although we're not making plans too much in advance these days. So far it looks good.

Remember to bring your pruners. I will be demonstrating how to clean and sharpen them, and will have the tools available for you to use.

Bump. Darn GardenWeb gnomes keep burying my post. Wish they'd quit.

I'd love to come. Will see what I can dig up for trade. Hard to get inspired with all of this rain :-) I do have a couple of clumps of a nice grass. Not sure the name but I have it by my little bubbling rock and it doesn't spread and makes a good little accent. I really would love a geranium magnificum. For some reason mine has dwindled away to nothing. Anyone have some to share?

I plan to be there. I have invited a couple friends too, hopefully we'll have a good turnout! I plan to bring several small rhodie seedlings, a couple honeysuckle vines, vinca minor, sedum, lamb's ears, bearded iris, and a few random things. Looking forward to it, see you there! :)

Trying again to bump my post above the Green Elephant post. How does it consistently stay at the top of the queue when I posted mine first, and it's been over for almost a month already? Whatever. Good news - I've got some local interest in the Oly trade, so I'm looking forward to some new participants. I'll try to have some new stuff for all those devotees who've attended in the past, too.

Teresa - Sorry you are under the weather. We'll save you the school garden plants in case you can make it to Barb's trade. Else, I will be happy to deliver them. Get well soon.
