Fall Plant and Seed Swap and Potluck
SAPS members only
Saturday, October 3rd 9:30 am
V.O. Dobbins Center
301 Louis Street, Kingsport, TN 37660

Once again the plant swap will be at V.O. Dobbins Center. This location has plenty of parking and a very easy entrance. The SAPS sign and green balloons will mark the easiest entrance with parking available at the end of the building. Start plants, divide plants, collect seed and bring them to share with others. September is a good time to dig and separate iris and other perennials. You may be planning to trim your collection of pots, garden items and deco as well as gardening books and magazines. Bring them to the swap because one man’s trash is another man’s treasure! There will be a silent auction.
Please identify the plants you bring with the plant ID information form that accompanies the newsletter and remember that every item brought must leave with someone to a new home or return with the one who brought it.  Bring your favorite potluck brunch dish. Because extra serving utensils will not be available, please bring a serving utensil for your dish. Plates, cups, napkins and flatware will be provided as well as water and coffee. The brunch will begin around 10:15 after people have arrived and placed their items.
This event is restricted to members who are current with their dues, but those who are a little late in getting around to renewing membership will be able pay dues on the day. If you have questions or need more information, please call or text 423-737-7915.
We look forward to seeing you all on Saturday, October 3 at the Fall Plant Swap and Potluck.
