Hello Everyone,
Perfect weather for dividing perennials, potting up volunteers, and sharing extra sprouts.
I had three successful individual exchanges last spring... and there was some talk of doing this as a larger group.
Any interest in trying to get something going?

| Great, so far that's two! Maybe a few more as weather warms up. I see Maggie already posted a wish list, and brooklyn gardener has a have list posted. I will work on doing the same. Shall we say early May? |

I am looking to exchange my excess perennials from my organic garden for other perennials, bushes, and aquatic plants. With very few exceptions, these are fully grown plants with a fully formed root system. I have already potted many of the plants and want to get them out of my garden ASAP. I live near the Brooklyn Museum and would like to meet ASAP. THE PLANTS I HAVE: * Pink Rose of Sharon

* Lysimachia clethroides (white)
* Burgundy daylilies with yellow centers. Name??
* Dicentra Formosa (a.k.a. Small Bleeding Hearts)
* Helianthus Fore Pleno (a.k.a. Perennial Sunflower)
* Tall pink phlox
* Several kinds of tall & medium high fall asters, lavender colored
* Purple Loosestrife
* Two large forsythia bushes
* Orange Trumpet Vine /Campsis
* Two potted peach trees, one 2 ft. high, the other 4" high.
* Acontium Napellus/ Monkshood
* Aegopodium podagraria ’Variegatum’ (a.k.a. Snow on the Mountain/Bishop’s Weed/Goutweed)
THE PLANTS I WANT: * Any and all aquatic plants
