absolutely fine to come without plants. Lynn had suggested that those without plants bring some sort of inexpensive treat to share(cookies, lemonade, etc). It's meant for a fun IP meet and greet so no exclusions:-)
Sorry, guys once our afternoon opened up Izzy, Titus and I sacked out for a nap. Everyone's welcome bring family and friends. If I'd been on the ball I would have suggested this right after all the flooding. Plant parties that I've been to in the past were just a group of friends getting together to swap plants and gardening tips. Everyone would write their names down on slips of paper and take turns going to pick out a plant. Then once all the plants have been claimed you have the plants' care as an ice breaker to meet and chat with someone new. I thought $5 per person wouldn't be too much to ask and no one would feel like their being jipped because everyone's going home w/ a new plant and we can help a cause that's near and dear to all our hearts...animal welfare. I have Golden raspberry starts coming out our ears, ivy that's taking over the front flowerbed and a few catnip sprouts that Jordan hasn't managed to kill yet. Please don't go out and spend money on something to bring...if you don't have any plants bring a refreshment to share with the group. I was going to make a jug of iced tea. We have plenty of plastic cups so I'll bring some of those and can pick up a couple bags of ice for drinks. I'm babbleing and should really consider switching to decaf. Hope to meet everyone next weekend. I'm off to watch Carlin on SNL.
