A swap is a fun event to bring together people who love plants and gardening to share a good time and their favorite plants. It's a chance to see old friends and make new ones.

Anyone who wants to share in the friendship is welcome. Bring plants and garden related items. If you don't have any of those, bring food for the potluck lunch.

We will swap rain or shine.

If you have special plants that you're saving for someone or have swaps set up, please make sure these are clearly marked in some way so that no one walks off with them by accident.  Please have all plants labeled ahead of time. 

Tyson Park offers a chance to swap out of your car or truck, weather permitting. You can back up to the sidewalk if you want, there's a very large flat parking lot. If you want shade or it's raining, there's plenty of room in the pavillion for everyone to unload there.

It's a Knoxville City park and shelter. No alcoholic beverages are allowed. Dogs are allowed but must be on leashes.

There are handicap accessible bathrooms as well as picnic tables available. There is a great playground for kids that includes a splash pad. And for the older kids, it's just down the hill from Knoxville's new Skate Park.

We have one firm rule: no selling or advance orders or anything else of that nature. This is a true swap and a chance to share with others.
