In the Weaverville Community Center
[60 Lakeshore Drive, Albert Weaver Room]

For our May meeting, Garden Club of Weaverville members will participate in our annual spring plant and seed exchange.

But for those who aren’t members, this meeting is a great opportunity to visit us, see what we’re all about, and even join our vibrant gardener community. To participate in the plant and seed exchange, feel free to register as a member in person on the day of meeting or simply fill out the membership form (available at https://gardenclubofweaverville.org) ahead of time and send it in to us. And for anyone wishing to bring plants or seeds to the swap, please see the following guidelines:

The swap will take place on the Weaverville Community Center covered patio after a brief business meeting inside. Please bring garden plants or houseplants, seeds, or gardening items you would like to share to the patio prior to the 11:30 a.m. meeting start time. There will be signs on the patio indicating where to place your plants for Sun, Shade/Part Shade, House/Indoor, etc.  And please go around the outside of the building to deliver your plants. 

And if you don’t have any plants to bring, do not despair – come anyway and take something special home with you.

Please mark each plant with as much of the below information as you can.  If you bring several of the same plants, we ask that you write this information on an index card, place it near the plants, and then just label each individual plant with the following: 

1. Plant Name:Label plants with botanical or common names or both. If a cultivar, try to include the name of the variety (ex: Echinacea ‘Tomato Soup’).
2. Size and Color: Indicate how tall the plants can get and the color of the bloom.
3. Native or Non-Native(if known):  Indicate which applies. And please don’t share plants that are on the Western NC Invasive Plant List or on any invasive list. 
4. Your Name: Please include your name so that folks will know whom to ask if they have questions and, of course, whom to thank.

*Also, please note that if any of the plants you offer are not claimed, you should take them back home with you.

The garden club will not provide refreshments this month, but feel free to bring your own lunch, snack, or beverages to enjoy immediately following the program, if you’d like. The business meeting will begin soon thereafter.

Club of Weaverville is a co-ed, non-profit organization open to everyone. For more information on what we do, becoming a member, or supporting the club, visit our website.
