Greetings, All!!

It’s time for our Spring Fling/Swap of 2018! It will be held Saturday, April 28, from 11:00 AM (or when you get here) until 2:00 PM (or whenever you need/want to leave). The purpose of this event is to exchange extra plants, materials, share stories and tips, attach a name to a face and even squeeze in a pot luck lunch!

Where? Out at the Ol’ Homestead of which I will provide a map 2 weeks before the event. We have a couple acres in rural NE Norman with plenty of parking. Gathering will be where Mother Nature allows. Last year we set up like the Arts Festival and we just meandered like a bunch of wet puppies from tent to tent. HA! This year we have a nice double wide carport or the original space out front under the Redbuds. We are about 10 to 15 minutes from either I-35 or I-40, out between Lake Stanley Draper and Lake Thunderbird. We have LOTS of sand out here…as well as a few stickers so we suggest you wear comfortable, sturdy shoes.

What do you bring?
Any extra plants, rootings or seeds.
Bring a contribution to the meal.
You might want to participate in the Door Prize Drawing so bring something garden related for that! It can be ANYTHING garden, growing, yard or landscape related. It can be purchased or handmade. Participation isn’t
mandatory, but it’s a LOT of fun. We draw for gifts by numbered ticket.

Also bring a chair for yourselves or blanket and sunscreen.

We will provide the space, the tableware (plates, napkins, cups, eating utensils, etc.) as well as ice, tea, water. I have tables for the food and other needs. There will be a clearly marked areas for “Offerings” to share, “Door Prizes” and “Pre-arranged trades” for those that arrange for specific items.

To sign up, it’s a 2-step process. First – post here. Let’s start this party! What are you bringing and what do you
need? Second – shoot me an e-mail from “my page” to tell me how many and give me your personal e-mail. I’ll need this to get a map to you. I’m sure everyone understands the safety in not disclosing the location publicly.

So who’s coming?
Can’t wait to see you ALL, friends old and new!
