Re: Perennial Plant Exchange

One question - is the exchange just for Master Gardeners or for other
"customers" -- if others, many of whom might be at my knowledge level of
plant id and care i.e. not much -- the most important thing would be to
include color, height, requirements, and then also I would like to see
similar plants in the same area - like "these like shade"  these need
pruning etc
