We cleaned up our yards, dug up, divided and potted some GREAT plants and headed to Adams Farm for the swap. Here is a link that might be useful: New England Plant Swap web site

Plant swap is today. 2:30 - 4:30. Nothing to swap, u can bring other things.Popsicle sticks, plastic knives make good markers, Popsicle sticks, gloves, $1 store has a lot to offer. Starbucks Coffee grounds (Starbucks gladly gives it free, just ask. One gal that will be at the swap does like the coffee grounds Most of the people expect a trade of something. You just need to ask. (We don't exchange money for anything.) I do know that a couple people bring more than enough to give away. My cell phone 469-223-0982 Gretchen

I'm only responding because this forum is so dead and it would be nice if someone from New England would respond. I'm not sure what grows in your area, but I do love to sit outside by our fire pit. Actually, we have two. One looks over the city lights and our pool. We have a pine grove at the bottom of our hill. We are in a high fire danger zone, so we purchased two propane fire-pits. No sparks. Hubby built a nice picnic table and we really enjoy sitting there. The boulder shoots the heat a long way and we can really feel it. Sorry for the sideways image. We have rosemary planted on our hillsides and it's good for erosion control. I just don't know if it grows where you are. Maybe you should post in the New England States type forums? Might get more ideas. I'd replace your chairs with Adirondacks. A lot classier!

Went to share with family - looks like you have a Facebook page but it hasn't been updated by anyone since 2015 - you may want to post there too.
