Ilikemudd, You can have a few driveway plant sales a year a la a yard sale. I've done it before. Or you can simply advertise in the Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin. However our plant trades are always simply a trade, we never ask for any money for our plants at the swaps or trades. If you are consistently holding plants on your property for sale, you can easily apply for a Georgia license. It's cheap, you get inspected once a year and I have friends who hold the licenses. GGG

Adam, your post must came up when I was typing mine. Anyway, if you don't want to reschedule, hope more people will sign up between now and then. Julie, are you coming for sure? If we coordinate what we have and what we want, we can still make it a good swap. Please let me know what you want. I have plenty of raspberries, strawberries and lily of the valleys. If you want them, I'll bring them. If not, please let me know too. I hate to dig them up, if no one wants them. Also, let me know what you want. If I have them, I'll bring them. As for me, any easy to grow flowers, especially showy and/or very fragrant ones, edible fruits, berries, nuts, ground covering for shady and dry place, etc. would be great. Oh, yes, blood root, if you have them. I am not fuzzy, if you do not have plants, cuttings and seeds are OK too. Julie, I can bring you a cutting of cereus.

What about King's Ferry? I haven't ever been there. Do any of you know if it would have enough room for us and what condition the place is in? I drove buy one of the parks in Effingham yesterday. It has a pavillion with 12 metal picnic tables that would be easy to more around. It had running fans and was connected to the bathrooms. There were also two sets of metal stadium benches near by. Where is everyone located so we can try to find a central location? Sandra - Guyton Cindy - Richmond Hill Mossy - ? Agnes - ? Gina - ?

Barb, The Fall 2011 East Tennessee Plant Swap will be held at Cheryl Peters' house, 7704 Dave Road, Knoxville, TN 37938 on Saturday, September 24, 2011. We often hold the swap at one of the local parks, but due to schedule conflict and other reasons, Cheryl has volunteered to host this fall's swap at her house. She has a nice yard with plenty of shade and a big garage in case of rain. The location is on your side of Knoxville, so it should be easy for you to get to without having to go through town. Check out our website, linked below. There is more information on the FAQ page and an interactive map on the Map&Directions page. You can also prearrange swaps if you like on the Forum page. We haven't really posted an official announcement yet, so there isn't any activity on our Swap Forum yet. It should start picking up in a few weeks. You don't have to prearrange, but many people find it helpful to arrange at least some of their swaps before hand so that they get a better idea of what to bring and what to expect. We'll also have a potluck lunch, so bring your favorite picnic/finger-food dish. If you don't have much to swap yet, PLEASE DON'T WORRY! We always seem to have an over abundance of neat stuff. Some of us are more interested in finding good homes for all our extras than really doing a lot of even swaps. We'd love to meet you at the swap and help you fill your yard with all kinds of neat plants. Here is a link that might be useful: www.EastTnPlantSwap.com

Fishermanpauljl, I don't have that much either! I just move here a year ago the last owner had nothing in the yard. Not even real grass. I think we have decided to make it a get-together and a swap. If you don't have plants maybe you have old tools, gardening mags, books, etc... If not, don't worry. It is to be about having fun, meeting new people, and learning about what works well in our area. I haven't put all of the final details together yet. We are trying to decide on a central location for everyone to meet. I will be posting information on the Get-Togethers Forum. Send me an e-mail if you have any questions or ideas. Sandra

That's GEORGIA route 17, NOT US 17. There's a BIG difference. We wouldn't want you to get lost.
