Hi, Looking for local trades. I'm located in Westminster, SC which is in Oconee County. I've tried to find interested folks before, and thought I'd try again. I'm willing to set up a swap at my home if there is enough interest. I also have plants/fresh eggs for sale throughout the year. Thanks, Erin

Hey, everyone! I live 10 miles north of Greer towards the big metropolis of Tigerville! I would be interested in a Swap. Some of us have been having one at Sunrise Assisted Living on Garlington Road in the spring and fall for the last couple of years. Usually May and August or September. It is hosted by tbug and we usually have drinks and food. the turn out has been very small... Ronda, it has been a looonnnggg time since I have seen you! At Roses Unlimited Study day a few years ago...So long that you may not remember me!

Interesting on the micro climates but with a range from coastal to mountain, I guess so! We are very excited for sure! And even about the drift towards conservation in thinking with development ... obviously not yet established or felt needed, but the word is out and information is there. The materials are becoming more mainstream, so there is hope! We were told that the materials compared well in pricing in Greenville area since there's a lot more use of them now. Here in the Charlottesville area of VA it's the same. More mainstream to think green. Consumers are becoming concerned about their air quality and health problems that come with it. The state of CT passed ruling to use only green cleaning products in all facilities: http://www.thenatureinus.com/2006/12/connecticut-to-use-only-safe-cleaning.html The public is getting informed about chemicals also: http://www.thenatureinus.com/2007/07/information-on-chemicals-in-household.html All I can say is: It's About TIME! :-) What always puzzled me is how development plans show all kinds of trees around buildings and phases, but when you look at the actual development they've all been plowed down. Market research shows houses sell for more if they have trees, yet builders rip them all out. Sometimes it doesn't make sense. But! We're on a garden forum, so sorry for ranting :-)

I'm excited to see this again this year! I plan to to be there and will have at least raspberry and mint. I'll see what else I can gather.
