Sunrise Assisted Living will be hosting a Plant swap on May 6th! We have a small Garden Club in the Community and are hoping to meet more local gardeners. At a plant swap you bring your extras- fresh cuttings, bulbs, extra plants, divided plants or just extra interesting plants and you trade with the other local gardeners. You meet new people and share ideas. Bring a snack to pass. Bring pictures of your garden. Talk to other gardeners that respond and see what they are bringing and what you have that they might want to trade for. The Swap is May 6th from 9 am on, I hope to meet you there. Call 864-627-8700 if you have any questions. Thank you, Tara

amalgamate, I probably can't come to the swap, because I will be on call for work. I have to be able to respond quickly. I have a lot of bulbing type flowers that need to be divided. I'm not sure what the proper name would be, maybe bearded Iris? I think Mom called them flags or something like that. I bought my parents house in 2011 after Dad died. They have been neglected and it is probably too shady where they are now since the trees have grown a lot. I'm not a flower person, if I can't eat it I ignore it on the most part. ;) I can't remember the colors or what the blooms look like, the late frost killed all of the blooms. Do Y'all have some place that I could drop them off early as a donation? I would hate to just dig them and dump them, but I have no place to put them right now without them being in the way of my future plans. The yard is a mess and I'm going to be doing a lot of ripping out and stuff. I could also bring cuttings from a huge snowball bush and an unnamed fig tree, I think it is a brown turkey. I'm not sure if it is the proper time to take cuttings from them though? I do know that they root very easily. This post was edited by wertach on Mon, Apr 21, 14 at 13:40

cactusrequiem Zone 8 SC He host a swap in North Charleston at the park at Miracle Circle. I'm from Summerville and my mom and I went one time when I came home to visit. You would meet some local people there. Been looking for people in the Westminster area myself to do the same. Erin

Looking forward to it! I'm hoping to add perennial flowers to my garden this year.
