Anyone interested in the hobby of growing and collecting figs is invited to join us in Chattanooga, TN at the  “Fig Frolic 2.0” on Saturday, Aug. 28^th.  at 9:30 a.m. EDT. Everyone is welcome, from the expert fig fanatic to the fignorant. We’re getting figgy with it. Got a fig shirt or other ‘fig attire’? Let your fig-obsessed freak flag fly! You have found your people. There is no charge to attend, but pre-registration is important for logistical reasons.

Planned activities include:

• White Elephant – How it works: Each participant draws a number. The person who draws number 1 goes first and selects a fig tree. Number two goes next and so on. We hope everyone will be able to leave with a fig tree of their own. The only way this will work is if our veteran figgers bring extra trees to donate for this. Set air layers or start cuttings now. Make certain that the variety name and your name are attached to each tree you bring.
• Fig Swap – If you have trees you want to swap, bring them with you. Make certain the variety name and your name is attached to each tree you bring. We will have red tags available to hang on any tree that you do not want to trade.
• Education - For topics, speakers, and schedule, see link below. 
• Shopping – Ooltewah Nursery is allowing us to host this event on their 16-acre property. ONLC is the largest garden center within 75 miles of Chattanooga, and has twice been named the top garden center in the Southeast. The nursery wants to welcome you by gifting attendees with a special coupon for our group only. Plan to come early and shop before the event starts. Wear cool comfy clothes and shoes for walking. You will receive your coupon when you check-in, so don’t check out at the nursery until you check in with us! Nursery hours: Sat 8:00 a.m.- 6:00 p.m.; Sun 12:00-5:00 p.m. EDT.
