I will be coming, not sure if bringing anyone

thanks for the thread, Ric

Sure you can drive all this way, Robin- LOL!!

More specifically- Millersville MD - not far from intersection of Route 100 and route 3/301

I'll be coming and tentatively Darcy and Addie will be too.

Count me in. Jeff, I sure hope you and the family can make it. I will be GREAT to see you!

Yeah I'm excited to see everyone. I planted all my 'spare' plants last year so I will actually have nothing to swap! But I'm sure I'll eagerly find a place for some of the groups 'spare' plants

I do hope I will be able to come. Looking forward to see everyone again and to have a ride with Frenchy21!

You have a definite ride with me Francine!

I am coming.

My sister Joyce will be coming with me again.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

Count me in!

Seqouia, are you bringing our favorite "seedling" and her "pod parent?"

Any interest in a group purchase from DrDawg's moving sale on orchids, ficus, staghorn ferns, and plumeria, please tree-mail me, and I'll add you to a group tree-mail list going out soon (maybe tomorrow evening).

Also, I'll probably order from Caladiums4Less again, so if there's interest in a group buy I can set one up. LMK! (tree-mail please, no need to clutter our swap thread) We can orchestrate a pickup before the swap or at the swap, depending on ship date and your logistics... it can be nice to start them early, but I'll try to wake them up when they arrive.

Yup that's the goal!

Please count me in too. Tony, knowing that he might talk to Mark about something not related to seeds, propagation, soil and fertilizer, has also agreed to come.

In that case, Eric may want to come along.

add me to the "official" list too, please! I'll see about Jim & Joyanna closer to the date.

Would love to come, but I am hosting Jane, a missionary from Ivory Coast. You helped support me when I went there to work at the girl's school.
We have an event that day that she is speaking at, but she would have loved to come to meet you guys.
Enjoy your time together

W miss you, Jan! Hope you have a wonderful time with your guest.

I'm new here. I'd like to come. Most of my experience (and surplus) is edibles but I now have a larger yard with some ornamental plants too, and lots of empty planting space. I'm not sure how the swap tool works.
