| Generations Gardeners "...The Rebel Yankee chapter..." Photos from the Swap 2003 Plant Swap & Seed Exchange SWAP, TRADE, BOAST & BRAG! ~ Cedar Rapids IA 52402 ~ Contact info - Get in on the fun NEXT YEAR! Our first swap in Iowa on 9-20-03 was a success! About 100 people came by to visit and swap seeds, bulbs, plants for both the garden and for house plants. Extreme amounts of knowledge, books, stories and fellowship were exchanged .... and this is just the start! Inspired by the MSN group based in Central Arkansas, We are the first chapter forming north of the Mason-Dixon line, hence making this chapter "the rebel yankees"! |

| Greg & Rita Hamming it up for the lens! >> Rita knows most any type of house plants while Greg holds the unofficial expertise on medicinal and herbals. Geoff sneaked out before I broke out the camera! He is an authority on prairie restoration. |
