Whaddya mean "more fun"??? We did have a lighter than usual turn-out, (at least partly due to the fact that we couldn't get the pavilion until very late in the season), but it was a great swap! Debbie & Donna brought boucoups (that's pronounced "buckets", right?) of plants & helpers, & as always when Casper attends, we all learned a lot; Latin names, plant lore, & even some poignant wisdom ("When it's all over, it doesn't matter who bought the last beer.") Darlene couldn't stay, but she made a drive-through stop & we were glad to see her, & I totally forgot to get the names (bear with me, younger people!) of the couple who brought so many things & who were so excited about roses. It was good to see the familiar faces, the faces we hadn't seen for a while, & of course some new ones. As another member said earlier, these swaps are like family reunions that you have twice a year! looking forward to the fall "reunion"!

Marci, where are you coming from? The park is located on University Dr you would enter into the park right across from the botanical gardens once you enter the park stay to the left of the road which is a oneway street and just look for a bunch of people with plants. But as always in the spring it is time for the park to get ready for Mayfest and for the past two years the park is blocked off and we've had to hold the swap just inside in park on the right side of the road just as you enter the park. If they have not closed off the park we will be by the pavilions. Below I found a map hope it goes through. Note::::at about the center of the map to the left you'll see Fort Worth Botanic Gardens and right across from there you'll see the enterance to Trinity Park. Hope this is helpful Here is a link that might be useful: Google Maps

Two days in and I'm slowly killing PK's Texas Columbine and I don't know how to make it better. It is losing it's pretty flowers and some of the leaves look like they are dry and crispy. It got rain on Saturday and sun on Sunday and then I noticed it was dropping it's flowers. So I moved it to the shade. It seems like the leaves look dry, even though the soil is moist (but not soaked). and I watered it a bit more yesterday, so the soil feels damp but not soaked. Could it be it doesn't like the wind? I really love it and want to save it. Any tips would be appreciated.
