A real good place to start is to come to our annual spring swap at Gardengramma's in Burtonsville, MD. This year it is on May 8. Check out the Exchange page for details and directions. Depending on the weather and other surprises, we have been known to have 50 people or more there, all bound by the common thread of being a little garden obsessive. Our potluck lunch is known far and wide, especially for it's chocolate. And gardengramma has the most increedible garden. Don't worry about whether you have or want plants, this is a big informal part.

A little late but I am disappointed to see that there are no responses to your request. If you are still interested in a pen pal I would be happy to correspond however I don't *quite* meet the requirements. I'm not ten. Im a landscape professional and I would value the opportunity to coach your child through his gardening endeavours.

This is just too funny, and you are way too defensive for me to think you sincere in the least. I looked you up last night and had my suspicions but held my tongue, waiting to see if you would do exactly as you have done here. You have requested nothing from any of these boards that you cannot find yourself just by googling. The girl you're talking about has more of such resources at her own disposal than all of us put together. Not to mention you, your mother, all the rest of your family, your friends, their family and friends, and all of her own family and friends. How much more can one pity party possibly require? But you chose to come to boards of strangers, asking them to offer their email address and home address to not only you but also a criminal - a criminal that does not exist, at least not for the reasons you express. Then, you have the nerve to insult us because you screwed up your own scam. We immediately saw the "WARNING SIGNS" from YOU! So, next time try harder to remember why you don't post to many of these boards, oookkaaayyy. And you spelled clique wrong, to which I do not subscribe.

Hello! I used to live in far Nortwestern WI(zone3). Now in western WI (zone4) my sister in law lives up in Zone 3. Between asking her, and what little I know, perhaps I can help?
