Mike, your gardens are just beautiful! We would love to have you at the swap, but I completely understand you not wanting to make the drive on a Friday afternoon/evening. If you ever happen to want to make a visit to the Chicago Botanic Gardens, I am in walking distance and would gladly provide you a place to park to avoid the garden fees (and should you happen to want to bring any extra echinacea, poppies, irises, peonies, etc. you have around, I wouldn't mind ;)
