WANTED: Fall trade date set

20 years ago

The plant trade/potluck at my sister's home in the Lake Tapps/Buckley/Bonney Lake area will be held on Saturday September 18th. She felt that was a good gift to give herself on her birthday. All kinds of plant people getting together to enjoy the day.

Details such as time, etc will be worked out closer to the date.

Hi Kelley I might be able to make this one! Not a whole lot farther to drive then the trades I've attended before and NO Fairies to make me sea sick. :-p

I guess I'll know for sure as the date aproches...

Take care, Penny

Bumping this up (it is still on, right?) because I really do plan to make this one!

The wedding will be over and I will be a free woman so to speak.

OOPS! I goofed on the directions. I tried to simplify them from last year, so I cut out a lot. Too much, as it turns out. The mistake is in the directions from Northbound I-5. Here are the corrected directions: From North of Olympia: 1. Exit I-5 at exit 116. If headed southbound, turn left at the top of the ramp. If headed northbound, turn right at the top of the ramp. This puts you on Mounts Road, which becomes Nisqually Road, which is also the Old Pacific Highway further along. 2. Follow that road (40 MPH zone) over a curved bridge, over the Nisqually River, through the town of Nisqually (35 MPH zone), past Reservation Road (50 MPH zone) to State Route 510. At the stop sign, turn left (your lane will be slightly uphill) - there is a pull-out lane to facilitate merging onto Hwy 510. 3. Follow Hwy 510 to Meridian Road and turn right. (Note: Meridian road is on the outside curve of the road, and this is where people get lost - they overshoot it. If you find yourself at the Red Wind Casino, you went too far. Turn around and follow directions as if coming from Yelm.) 3a. Follow Meridian Road to the Yelm Highway. You will see the Evergreen Valley Grocery Store and Gas Station across the highway. Turn right onto the Yelm Highway. 4. Turn left at TriLakes Market and Gas Station onto Spurgeon Creek Road. 5. Follow Spurgeon Creek Road to 80th. Turn right. 6. The clubhouse is dead ahead, at the top of the hill. You do not have a stop sign, so pull straight into the parking area and find a place to park.

The address and directions are posted on gardenweb under another posting under the Olympia fall trade heading. I went into quite some detail, so don't want to re-post them. I think the posting was bumped up to page 1 recently. If you have trouble locating the directions, e-mail me at tammyinolympia@yahoo.com and I will send them to you.

I want to go. I'm going to go put it on the calendar now! Maybe my sister will actually make this one. She ditched me just because it is a low tide and the kids want to go crabbing. Oh well, more plants for the rest of us.

As far as types - we are a non discriminatory group we love ALL plants, although not weeds..lol
Indoor, outdoor, seedlings, cuttings, we LOVE THEM ALL! You can look at most fo the members of this forum and see a trade list you will see all kinds. Heck I have even been able to trade non - plant items at times for plants. The members here are the best and very kind!

Hope to see you there.

I'll be there, too. I've been gone a while - can't wait to see you all! I probably won't trade - I'll just bring plants to give away.

Yup, I'll be there, but I'll be chair-bound. I'm having foot surgery on Sept 7th and I'll be in a cast boot for a month, so I'll have to be sure to get all my trade plants dug and potted before that.

I've never been to a trade. I mostly raise herbs and edibles (grapes, currants, berries, unusuals) and am interested in possibly attending this trade. I didn't make it to any of the markets this year although I'm gearing up for next year already so I have tons of plants. Please fill me in on the details for this trade (location, time, date, etc.) Thanks!
Doris_J

As the trade date approaches, the host will post more detailed info about location, time, etc.

Generally, we meet at the location with our trade plants and a potluck dish. Some people prearrange trades and some just bring all their extras (or, a combination of both). There is always plenty to go around! And it's a fun time.
