Here are the two threads set up for the Mid-Atlantic Gardeners 2017 Fall Plant Swap being held at Rick & Larry's place in Derwood, MD.

The first thread is to let us know who is attending and what food or beverage item they are bringing for the pot luck lunch.
2017 Fall Plant Swap

The second thread is for general chat about the swap. This thread also contains information on how the swap will be conducted.

If you have any questions, please feel free to post them to the chat thread.

If you've never been to an in-person swap, don't be shy! After all, where else can you go and hang out with a bunch of people talking about plants with enthusiasm?

I'll be there for the September swap

Will bring Artichoke dip w/French bread.

I will be there too and may bring my sister with me.

Pat and I will be there.

I'm planning to come; I just put it on my calendar

I'm a "maybe," depending on whether my folks are able to go to Canada fishing this fall... if they do, I'm going too!

Apologies about that, because I mentioned to a couple people that they could stay over at our place Friday and/or Saturday nights.

But there are a lots of hotels in the area, including Sleep Inn and Red Roof Plus (currently 65-85 per night depending on specials).

Hopping the metro down to the Smithsonian the next day would be one option... many choices nearby!

I am planning to come; not yet decided what to bring for lunch.

Count me in..

I plan on coming too.

I'm going to be retired before I see anyone My niece's wedding is that day...what are the chances of missing 2 in a row due to weddings? Sheesh! I was really looking forward to seeing your place too!!!

Chantal, you were definitely missed.

Chantell you are missed as is your (nephew?) , he seemed to be such a nice guy, an very interested in horticulture.I think the last I saw him was at Teri's (Aspenhill's).

i will be coming as far as i know- maybe my sister too.

will bring some foodie item- no idea what yet.

Count me in too.... Looking forward to it...

We should be able to attend also. Ric & Holly. It's after OBX and before Mexico. We'd really like to see your place. Okay, bye.

Please count me in. Thank you! Looking forward to seeing everybody.

I missed everyone as well. Logan loves coming along but is actually working now Ok...I'll move my chatty self to another thread. Thanks for the patience of the momentary hijack xo

Chantell, Since we are usually weekend maybe Logan can attend. If he has any special request, have him pass them on.

Ric - so sweet but he's typically working weekends now. So hard to believe he'll be a senior next year.
