I'm (fairly) new to Evanston and I have mostly empty garden beds! I think the old owners thought the house would be more appealing with entirely empty garden beds. I am so excited for this event! But I don't have plants to swap except maybe some tiny chive seedlings I started outside... maybe they will be a bit bigger by then though. I will bring some snacks and maybe some seed packets? I don't want to be too much of a mooch.
I'm interested in hellebores, clematis, columbines, bleeding hearts, hydrangeas (especially climbing hydrangea), bee balm, echinacea, forget me nots, raspberries, butterfly bush/milkweed, Cardinal flower and other lobelia, sedum, phlox, vinca/periwinkle...and probably lots of other things as well.
I realize that this list is probably a bit ridiculous but I thought I'd just make my dream wish list and see what happens.
