Hello! I don't think that we have many other members from the Wichita Falls area, but I thought that I would try! I coordinated a swap last November and had about 15 people come. I considered it a sucess as I didn't really advertise it much! We had people trade for goat's milk soap, hot cocoa mixes, worm poop juice; all sorts of things! I also did a short demonstration on Winter Sowing, so hopefully some participants were able to start seeds over the winter. (We gave away lots of seeds!)
Here are the details:
Please feel free to bring any indoor/outdoor plants, seeds, gardening
books/magazines, pots, birdhouses, garden tools, earthworms; anything
to do with gardening! (Baked treats such as cookies and brownies are
popular trading items, too!!!!)
Bring a folding table to put your swap items on. We will put the
plants/goodies that are available for trade on top of the table and
plants/goodies that we are taking home under the table. Also, bring a
pen and notepad to take notes about the plants/seeds that you
receive. If you bring plants or seeds, please make sure that they are
clearly labeled. Don't forget to bring a chair!
Spread the word to your gardening friends and neighbors! Also, start
thinking about what plants in your garden need to be divided. I have
lots of drought tolerant perennials that I started with Winter
Sowing. They are still little babies, but will be big enough to trade
by next month!
Here are the directions to the Park:
Turn on Del Rio off of Fairway Blvd.
Left on Lesley Heights
Right on Opal Street
Let me know if you have any questions!
Happy Gardening!

Did you know that there is a yahoo group set up for exchanging plants in WF? It isn't very busy, but a few of us try to keep it going. We have gotten around 8 new members since Spring has arrived. Here is the site:
