I am very excited.  I'm meeting with some other folks to swap gardening tools/plants before planting season.  This way, we save money from buying a variety of plants and also it encourages each of us to plant more stuff.   This can easily be arranged among a group of friends/acquaintance as follow:

Each individual identifies which plants/seedlings they plan to buy and then make sure that the others purchase different ones to swap.

I hope this can be a new gardening trend (plant swaps,,,,.... hooray....)
