Clover, SC Spring Plant/Seed Exchange Join us for our first Spring Plant Lovers Exchange Sunday May 19, 2013 at 256 Community Park Drive Clover, S.C. 29710 From 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Bring 'healthy' (no bugs allowed), indoor or outdoor plants to trade but not limited to just plants, i.e., pots, stepping stones, garden magazines & books, seeds, bulbs - - bring what you don't want to trade for something you do want. Please label your plants with simple but as much information as you have for their new owners, i.e., plant name, growing requirements (shade/sun), perennial , annual, herb, houseplant; any info you feel would be pertinent to your plant. This will make it easier for the new plant owner to know where to plant. Try to establish your plants in pots at least a week before the plant swap, keep watered and keep in the shade. Please make sure there is ample root system - don't cut off the stem and leave the root in the ground. (We would all like to take home growing plants). For seed packets: on the envelope or container clearly print the name of the plant, color of the flowers (if any) and the approximate date gathered. If you don't have plant pots, some suggestions would be cans, cottage cheese, yogurt containers, plastic water jugs, etc... Be sure to put a hole in the bottom of the container for drainage. If you have an abundance of plant containers you no longer want, please bring them to the swap! Some one very well may need them for the next swap. Do not remove any plants from the table that do not belong to you. Remember, this is a "free" plant exchange -- items for sale are not permitted. Please do not leave children unattended during the meet - supervision is a must. There will be a jar at the swap if anyone would like to donate change to help pay for the shelter. Please help us clean up after the shelter rental. Park rules: Trash goes in dumpsters, not roll-out can. No alcohol. Clover Community Park Bethel Street/SC-55 to Quinn Road [Circle K on corner directly across from the Clover Post Office], turn right onto Community Park Drive. The Plant Swap will be in the small shelter. Let us know you are coming by posting and sharing the items you are bringing. Looking forward to meeting fellow plant lovers!

We had a great time at our First Annual Spring Plant Exchange in Clover. Thank you, Garden Web, for letting us advertise and thank you, Aqua, for bringing those beautiful plants to share today. Angelwings3 P.S. Will post when we plan the Fall Exchange!

I'm so sorry you couldn't find us! The marina is on the back side of the park. We were on the front side on Hwy68 or Eastchester which runs right off of I-40, no turns. It's the next drive past the Drexel Heritage Furniture building. We're going to do this again in the fall (our 2nd fall event) and I'll try to help you to find us better. Meanwhile I know a new group in High Point that's just getting started they're having a 'bring a plant' to get aquainted meeting this month. Also I have quite a bit I can share with you if you'll email me.

Ralph, is that guy hardy? I forgot.. As for getting to the exchange, I was surprised at how difficult it is to find it from main page. I just use these existing threads that have emails about, and go to the top and click the "Carolina Garden Exchange" button, and it brings me to it. Though I did finally find it from main page... (if not for this question I wouldn't have spent time to look, because got irritated before at being unable to find it, but found it easier this time for some reason) Go to the Stories and Advice and choose Gardenweb Discussions: Then go to the side bar and click Exchanges and Trading: That will bring you to a list of all the exchanges and can choose Carolina Exchange from there.
