Thanks to all who showed up Saturday morning at the Greengirls plant swap. With more than 135 in attendance it was an unqualified success — depite the nippy weather. (Is it supposed to be 40 degrees in the middle of May?)

You can see a photo here. Thanks Peter!

In our makeshift marketplace in the park across from the Star Tribune, hundreds of plants changed hands — from miniature dicentra to Solomon’s seal to meadow rue to ornmental grasses (miscanthus, calamagrostis, panicum). Of course, there were plenty of lily of the valley, daylilies and phlox. To my amazement every single plant found a happy home. Minnesota gardeners, you did yourselves proud.

 Thanks to all to showed up for the swap. Special thanks to fellow Greengirls, Jaime and Robyn and Home +Garden staffers Martha Buns, Paulette Henderson and Rhonda Prast. Peter Hoh (who runs the Growing Things blog) also lent a hand.  

We’re planning to have another plant swap next spring, so start thinking about divinding those plants!
