Tennessee Garden Exchange

WANTED: Anyone in Chattanooga area want to have a swap?

17 years ago

I NEVER see anyone from Chattanooga, Harrison, East Ridge, Decatur, or Rossville area that has plant swaps. I KNOW YOU ARE OUT THERE! Let's organize one! Who is with me? I've got 4 acres in Harrison, we could have it here!

How about individuals that want to get together to trade plants? Anyone? I am a gardening fanatic, and my family doesn't understand me! sniff sniff, boohoo, I am so lonely....... (smile)

You don't need to recruit from *just* the immediate Chattanooga area. Heck, Knoxville isn't that far..... ;-)

Hi Kasha. There are so many swaps going on already this fall that it is doubtful that you will find too many folks who are not already committed to going to one of them. I am going to the Greer, SC on Sept. 20th and then to the High Point Swap, NC on Oct.4th. That takes care of all the gas money I have for a while. There is another in Charlotte, NC on the 13th???? of Sept that I would love to go to but I have already made trades that I have to take to the other 2 so I am out. I would suggest that you might want to look forward to the spring and decide on a place and a date and I am sure that 'They Will Come'. I know that I will, Mooresville is not too far for me and I love to shop in both Mooresville and Huntersville, making a convenient loop for me. For the time being why don't you think about joining in on one of the other swaps, meet new friends and other gardeners. Glad to see you here, Welcome, Les (Love2GardenNC)

Hi Jennifer, IÂm sorry I will not be able to attend the fall plant swap. IÂm recovering form knee surgery. Thank you for keeping us posted on Tally I was so worried about her. IÂve tried to contact her but havenÂt heard from her. Jennifer do you still have my phone number? When you talk to her again tell her she is welcome to come here to Waller if she needs a place to stay and I have plants for her too. How did you fair through Ike? Everyone have fun at the swap I love all the plants you have posted. Janet aka jsplants@yahoo.com

I would be interested. I am from Evensville. Which is in between Dayton and Decatur. I would love to talk to other nearby gardners. My family doesn't just not understand they think I'm plumb nuts. LOL Feel free to e-mail me anytime.

Thanks,
Lisa

I would love to be apart of a plant exchange in Chattanooga. I will soon be moving there and you have no idea how happy that makes me. I just came back from Iraq after spending over 16 months there, I use to get on the internet and look at trades on gardenweb just to try to give me something to look foward to when I got back, its weird the things that you miss but sitting on the computer late at night sipping a glass of wine, looking and achanging ideal/seeds with all my friends at gardenweb was it. Now I am back soon getting out of the army, just bought a house in chattanooga (just thinking about it makes me teary eyed) but anyway, I am more than looking for foward to a swap around chat

Hey Erin, here's another "Chattanoogan" transplanted to Soddy Daisy in '84. Looking for dwarf or mini solid orange morning glory seed (it's almost UTK orange!) Have Mini Blue Sky morning glory seed to trade. I found the orange one along a roadside on Mowbray Mtn where I live. Got a few seed but they didn't germinate. ANYBODY OUT THERE SEEN ANY? I had never seen the dwarf orange before and it was gorgeous. The blue is "bluebird blue" and gorgeous too!

Hi,
I'm another plant-addict near Georgetown-Birchwood, and was really excited to see these posts.

I know this thread was started a long time ago, but I just saw it. Please let me know if anything came of the local swap idea. I also have a variety of plants I would swap. I have a variety of perreniels and shrubs as well as a lot of indoor plants.
