We got into this discussion on another thread, and I thought it deserved a thread of its own.

With the growing DG membership and activity in this forum, it seems like having more than one time and location for spring and fall plant swaps would let a lot more people participate. No matter what time and location we pick, there are people who can't travel that far or who have other plans for that day. So let's have more parties, more often!

I'll bet we could even manage monthly get-togethers, with this sociable group. It would be like having a monthly garden club get-together, DG style, with different people hosting so some locations would be closer than others for everybody.

I wrote an article about hosting a plant party, http://davesgarden.com/guides/articles/view/1478/, and another about hosting a seed swap at a local restaurant, http://davesgarden.com/guides/articles/view/1479/

This month, we've got a seed party planned for Feb 21... and Holly is thinking about a May or June date... Who wants to host a March Gathering? Or a July BBQ? Think about it... and share your ideas here!
