Winter Seed Sowing/Hardwood Cuttings
Saturday January 7, 2012, 10 AM to Noon (indoors)
Right after the holidays in the cold dark of winter, we get together with our treasure troves of seeds, and dirt and pots and labels, to winter-sow perennials, trees, shrubs. These pots of seeds then go outside for cold treatment which breaks the seeds' dormancy. You won't believe the great results! Come spring they germinate in profusion. For this event, potting soil is provided. Bring your pots, seeds, labels to share. This year we will propagate hardwood cuttings of various native and ornamental shrubs. You can also divide and repot houseplants at this event.

Directions and Details
The Green Elephant Plant Swap is hosted in North Redmond, WA, at the Episcopal Church of the Holy Cross; The site offers parking, covered areas, indoor facilities, kitchen, memorial garden, grass labyrinth and playground. It is five minutes from I-405 and I-520.

Contact: Jim Eichner, cell phone: 425-223-7249

Street address: 11526 162nd Ave NE Redmond, WA 98052

How it works: No sales, just exchanges and freebies, please.

Tailgating Encouraged. The format for the trade is like a tailgate party. Traders exchange expert gardening information as well as plant materials. In two hours all the deals are sealed. We have plenty of new parking.

Free Stuff. Many gardeners generously share plants from the abundance of their gardens. An excellent way to begin your garden. Also an excellent way to thin out that giant patch of shasta daisies, etc. There is always a pile of plants free for the sharing at the swap.

What if I have nothing to trade? Cookies and chocolate work like money at the Green Elephant!

Does anyone know how to 'unsticky' things? This thread hasn't been utilized for quite some time and probably doesn't need to be at the top of the list anymore. I'm also rather weary of the flower 'bed' photo, nice as it is.

M y guess is thast only Admins or the person who started the trhread can do that.

I'll D-mail rachierabbit.

Rick, Rachel has not been active on DG for a long long time, at least a year if not longer. I have no idea why this thread continues to be a 'sticky' and it is apparently rather difficult to get the attention of anyone in administration to clean things up. Good luck over here.

Deb,

Melody helped out.

I got her attention using the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the Home Page.

Great, I see it is no longer sticky. It was a good idea when someone was actually populating it, but it's been fallow for a really long time now. Thanks for following up on this.

Sure thing!

Wouldn't it be hoot if this prompted someone to list a lot of events or sponsor a Round Up?

Well, now ... I hear a volunteer piping up there ... if you can design an "anti-barking" system surely you can throw a Roundup with your eyez closed ...

It would mean cleaning the house first - the Augean Stables would be easier.

maybe we could meet at a park, or even an Arboretum, and everyone brings sack lunch, lawn chair, and a few plants to swap? Then it would be easy(I never got the party organizer gene, but I would like to meet you all).

I could totally organize a party, and even host overnight guestz.
But, as my b'friend says, I live in "Bufu Oregon."
