@everyone - Donna and I are sponsoring a group plant swap *Saturday, May 11 from 9:30 AM- 11:30 AM.* it will be in Spanish Plaza, in the southeast corner, which is at the intersection of Church and Franklin Sts downtown. We will be using the same format as the ODWA swaps which follows below. Hope to see everyone there!Here's the 411 on the upcoming Launch lant Swap:
· When is it? Saturday, May 11, 2024 9:30AM -11:30
· Who is it open to? ANYONE
· What is it? A good time for plant nerds! We get together, share our love of plants, bring some to give away, and find some new ones to take home! In the process, if you have questions about plant-related matters, such as growing problems, propagation, etc…, there is a wealth of experience and knowledge for you to draw from!
· The fine print: Bring a potted plant (grower pot, solo cup, or your best terracotta, it all counts!) and get a ticket to swap for each one you bring). You may also bring unrooted cuttings, or give-away potting/garden materials, seeds, etc… to give away but these do not exchange for a ticket… BUT – don’t stay away because of that… keep reading!
· Once everyone has gotten set up and had a chance to see what’s come in, swap tickets are handed out. Then…
· At the beginning of the swap, we all take turns telling everyone what we brought - name, basic care, etc… nothing formal, it’s a friendly crowd and if you are really shy, someone will likely be willing to help you out!
· THEN THE FUN BEGINS! Once everyone has had a chance to show off what they brought, ticket numbers will be called out in ranges. When one (or more!) of your tickets falls within the current range, you get to go pick a plant for each ticket you have in that range! This will go on for about 20-30 minutes or so, UNTIL…
· (THOSE WHO WERE TOLD TO KEEP READING ABOVE TAKE NOTE) - Free for all! When swaps slow down to a certain point, the caller will call out FREE FOR ALL! At this point the plants remaining are up for grabs to anyone present, regardless of tickets.
- ***Please note, out of courtesy to everyone in attendance, We ask that no trading\swapping take place prior to the official swap.***
· FINALLY: We hope to see everyone there! We are looking forward to a low-key and fun way to meet fellow gardeners and plant lovers! Don’t be shy, all are welcome regardless of experience level! We look forward to seeing you!
