The Spring 2019 East Tennessee Plant Swap will be held at New Harvest Park, 4775 New Harvest Lane, Knoxville TN 37918 on Saturday, May 11, 2019. Swapping begins at 10:00am (no exchanges before that, please). We will have a pot-luck lunch at 11:30am and a presentation by the Native Plant Rescue Squad right after that. Please make plans now to come join the fun on swap day! As always, new gardeners are especially invited to attend. There are always plenty of plants in need of good homes, fellow friendly plant addicts excited about trading, and the best food around. Even if you don't have much to offer for trade, PLEASE come, make new friends, and be prepared to leave with lots of awesome stuff! Also, please plan to stay for lunch and the Native Plant Rescue Squad presentation.

The swap is entirely free and absolutely nothing will be sold, but it does cost the coordinators a little to reserve the park and pay for hosting services for the website. A donation of two or three dollars per person, with a maximum of five dollars per family, would help us cover these expenses.

Find more details about the swap at the website, www.easttnplantswap.com. I hope to see you at the swap!

If you have an idea of what you will be bringing to the swap, or, if you are looking for anything in particular, consider posting your "HAVE" or "WANT" list on the plantswap forum: www.easttnplantswap.com/forum

(If you are not already signed up, you'll have to do that first and wait to be approved. Right now the approval process is manual and make take a day or two, because of spam and bots that occasionally try to join.)

Sweet! Looks ya'll picked a great location. I don't know who pulled the trigger on New Harvest but that was an excellent call. Oddly enough, Lavonne and I may be up that way on Memorial Day weekend. Since we are turning 50 this year she wants to go to the mountains and hike the Chimney's because she's never done it before. So we might actually be there Sunday! Our legs may be jelly so we'll probably need wheelchairs, walkers and assistance just to move though.

I hate to get further away from the swap conversation, but I will give you some sources, dcwrites. If you are coming to the swap, you might consider adding it to your wants list on the swap website, because there is a chance someone would have it and be willing to give you some. However, if you are just looking to purchase it.... Sunlight Gardens (in Andersonville, TN) has both plain Conradina verticillata and Conradina verticillata 'Cumberland Snow'. Sunlight Gardens has an excellent Garden Watchdog rating, so you are probably safe mail-ordering from them if you can't go in person. Woodlanders (in Aiken, SC) has plain Conradina verticillata and a fairly good (but not great) Garden Watchdog Rating. Nearly Native Nursery (in Fayetteville, GA) also has plain Conradina verticillata and an absolutely perfect!!! Garden Watchdog rating.

Hey Tanya, you might want to look over the FAQ page. Here's the section that addresses your question. PLEASE let me know if anything needs clarification or you need more info. What should I bring? Potted plants, freshly dug plants (properly conditioned to survive until they can be planted), cuttings, well-developed seedlings, seeds, small trees, shrubs, vines, perennials, annuals, gardening tools, gardening supplies, gardening crafts, and gardening related art are all welcome. These are the kinds of things we typically swap. Please pre-label your plants so that the recipient will know what they have.
