Corrie here! I'm excited about this year's swap. I've been talking it up to my community garden group as well as at the CBG seed swap back in January. As I'm only in year 2 in our new house, I'm still trying to remember what plants I have here; still very much in a "building" phase with the gardens (and am anxiously awaiting the reveal of the updated garden as the plants that I got from last year’s swap start to come up).

I know that I have ample black-eyed susans that I can bring to the swap if anyone wants, as well as orange daylilies (the gardens here were pretty uninspired). I will have some herbs (chocolate mint, oregano, basil) to bring and some veggie seedlings, especially swiss chard. I am happy to plant some other veggies to bring to the swap if there are specifics people are looking for, they'll just be small at only 3-4 weeks by the time of the swap. I have some calendula seedlings that I can bring too. I planted some and then noticed that my plants from last year had reseeded enthusiastically so I don't think I'll need to add any. Same situation with some California poppy seedlings if there is interest.

I'm looking to establish a cottage garden in the front of our place so anything along the lines of lupines, foxglove, delphinium, roses, peonies, allium, perennial poppies, etc. would be most welcome. Also have a burgeoning medicinal/herb garden in the back so anything to add there would be fantastic too. Bulbs of the hyacinth, grape hyacinth, iris, etc. variety would also be much appreciated.

tini777 I would love a zinnia or two
plantfan I will pot up some black eyed susan for you. They’re spreading everywhere!
