Heh heh.  "how many gals"  -- I read this as how many "gals" as in
gallons of plants you'd get -- 1 gal being the usual for perennials.

Hopefully some Buffalo guys will show up as well -- unless the event is
closed to them for some reason, maybe not being able to be a Mother ;-)

Enforcing no running, shoving, pushing, grabbing, etc., is a good idea.
Limiting total number of plants bought or number of a particularly
desirable or short supply plant per customer might also help.  Requiring
a standard labelling format for each plant *if the swapper knows it*
would also be good -- a label on the front of the container so that no
digging down and trampling the plant would be required to get at a plant
marker.
