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.

The second thread is for general chat about the swap. This thread also contains information on how the swap will be conducted.
2017 Fall Plant Swap CHAT
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?
As with the previous swaps...
• I know a couple of people may just keep lists on the side and not utilize the online tool, and some may simply bring their plants to the swap. That’s fine! There are even a few people each year who come just to catch up with friends and “talk plants” with people whose eyes won’t glaze over in 3 minutes. It’s all good!
• Instructions will be posted below on finding and using the seed swap tool.
• Once you've put a variety on your list, remember you need to click the box to "activate" it for this swap. (The online tool saves the descriptions so you don't have to re-enter them for different swaps.)
• You
must list at least one item in the swap before you will begin receiving tickets for 'dibs'.
• The seed swap tool limits the number of requests you can make per day. This helps "share the wealth." Within a few days of the swap starting, you'll have more than enough 'dibs'
