Entertaining

As your spring perennials are starting to bloom, you may notice that some are appearing overgrown, and look like they'll need to be divided at the end of the blooming season. Rather than just dividing and replanting them, take this opportunity to chat with your neighbors and plan an afternoon to swapping perennials.

Choose one house in a central location as the party location. Each gardener can bring dug-up perennials to be divided and split amongst the guests.

Set up a table of driveway location, where guests can choose the plants they wish to take home. Add some baked goods, lemonade and iced tea, and you have a party!

When you get home and plant each of the different varieties, you'll have fond memories of an enjoyable afternoon.
