I think this will be our 15th MAG spring seed swap!
DATE: SATURDAY, Feb. 10, 2024
TIME: noon to 4:30 pm
NOTE: This is an IN PERSON swap only. If you live nearby or will be visiting nearby, we'd love to have you! I will not mail seeds.
WHAT: lunch (noon to 2 pm) followed by seed swap party
HOW: You can do your seed trading in advance via the Seed Swap Tool, in person at the swap, or both. The Seed Swap tool is found under "Useful Tools" at the top of the page or here
https://garden.org/apps/swap/ Click the "join this swap" button and you're in! If you haven't used the tool before, please watch Dave's really useful video tutorial here

WHERE: Frederick, MD, probably Chef Lin Buffet but stay tuned
WHO: participants in DG and ATP mid-Atlantic forums and their guests; children welcome! (no pets; it's a restaurant)
COST: To be determined (I want to stop by to check the availability & condition of the back room and to get the current prices for buffet with drinks.)
BRING: Extra seeds, either commercial or self-harvested. If you're going to split seeds into smaller packs, try to do that ahead of time, because it gets crazy! We'll have a "free to good home" pile also. Cuttings are fine, and a small potted plant would be great as a gift item, but otherwise please DO NOT bring plants into the restaurant.
Most seeds are viable 5 years or so, if stored dry & cool, but please don't offer seeds (even for the "free" pile) that are unlikely to sprout. Rule of thumb: bring seeds that you would be happy to receive.
Most people bring a small item for the "gift table," which is sort of an expanded door prize thing that we like to do.
Most of all, bring your enthusiasm -- we're going to have a great time!
