Ahh, another Nutmegger, Welcome! We've tried and had a pretty good location that was free but only 3 of us showed up. Honestly, there aren't that many GardenWeb regulars from this area of the state. But..in our well used Carolina forum we have the additions of 'Exchanges' and 'Conversation' so there's no reason we can't meet there and maybe get something organized for fall. If you go into the 'Exchanges' section, you'll find lots of activity and plans, just not in this area. What part of the Charlotte area is home to you now? I'm in Matthews (again) after 8 years in Weddington. Been here since 1985 from New Haven cty.

Ruth: Theresa & I are going to talk via phone tomorrow to hash out details. If you have any suggestions for how to set it up, please email either of us before then. I am going to ask the nurseries & shops I list in the brochure to donate a doorprize, so we'll have some pretty nice doorprizes, I hope! EVERYONE is welcome to offer suggestions, so please just email either of us or post here.

Hope it was a successful day for all!

Although we don't live there anymore, my husband and I are both from Jackson. We live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast now, but go "home" whenever we can. Many of our family members and closest friends still live there. I have someone in mind that I would be happy to recommend if you would like to send me an e-mail I can give you more info. What town/suburb are you moving to? Look forward to hearing from you! Jan
