That is a great idea. I have favorite plants that I would NEVER have thought to try or seek out, that I got at our swaps. I've also got to see some wonderful gardens, but best of all is the great friends. I need to see Wayne's garden someday! I wish I had a lake to irrigate from :-)

Darn, we will again be in Boston that day. You always have such a nice selection of plants and I am sorry to miss your date, but will catch you later. Stan

This swap at Cheri's has been going on for many years with many gardeners from all over- not just for us GWers like Rick's will be. Dotty- you remember her from the GW Winter Blues seed swap, started this many years ago. It is just Cheri's turn to host the spring event. I bet she was on the host sign up sheet for several years before her name came to the top! There are some folks who come up from the other side of Iowa (with a car full of Iris)- and I met a Canadian participating at my first one. The person from Europe was just visiting a local gardener- but still... This is a PLANT swap. Bring many plants! They do offer to new gardeners who do not have enough to lift and divide to bring food or something like that to share- but they do have many great plants brought by many great folks and that is what keeps it such a good swap. Bring a buck to enter into the drawing at the end of the swap for very special or rare plants- and they are always looking for folks to bring in something very special to donate at the drawing as well. The buck helps covers their mailing list costs that they will send out to you for the next swap- if you fill out a post card while you are there. It is great fun- and a great chance to share what you have an abundance of- or what you are able to- and bring home some great new plants as well! I am planning to be there.....

I belong to a Koi and Water Garden Club in Dallas. We are swapping plants on Sat April 8 . If you would like to join us and swap or maybe just take some plant let me know. Email me at akcarep@kwgcnt.org Jack
