THE ONLY RULES TO THIS SWAP

PLANTS NEED TO BE HEALTHY , If You can pot them up that is good . Or Place them into plastic bags with a little dirt around them .

If your trading bulbs for plants , figure 3-6 Bulbs per plant depending on bulb size . place them in something like strawberry box or Qt size
baggies if you can . also try to mark what the bulbs are Please .

We Do Not Trade seeds for Plants But if you have any seeds you might like to trade for other seeds Bring them along Others might have some for trade .

you may also bring gardening Items Or craft Items to trade for plants .

JUST REMEMBER TO BRING A TRUCK & OR TRAILER WITH YOU For you will be going home with much more then you brought .


DRAWING: BRING ONE SPECIAL GARDENING ITEM ,, YOU BRING A GIFT & YOU WILL RECEIVE A GIFT .
THIS IS NOT MANDATOR JUST A FUN GUESTURE .
