The swap will be on Sunday, September 27, starting at 10:00 am (or so) at the south end of parking lot #3 (associated with shelters D, E, and F) at Black Hill Regional Park near Germantown, Maryland. Bathrooms are across the street at the visitors' center. There is an extremely nice playground nearby (not in sight of the parking lot), and there is an off-leash dog park a little further away. There should be at least some shade in the parking lot, and there are picnic tables and a grill, up a trail, that will definitely be shady.

I need to find a new home for 2 large (5 foot) grapefruit and avocado trees that are in large pots ASAP. They want some TLC and a sunny location inside for the winter. PLEASE email me right away if you can give them a home. I can bring them to the swap or to your house if it is nearby.
