What is a plant swap?

A plant swap is an event that connects members of the community through a shared love of plants. During the event we trade plants as well as share stories, tips and ideas with other individuals who are as passionate about plants and gardening as we are. To participate in the event simply bring one or more plants from home and exchange them for other plants at the swap.


What type of plants can I bring to the event?

Perennials, annuals, bulbs, houseplants and cuttings are all welcome.


Can I bring more than one plant?

There is no limit to the number of items that you can bring to the swap.


How many plants can I take home?

If you bring one plant to the swap you may take one home. If you bring two plants you may take home two and so on.


Can I participate if I don't have any plants to exchange?

Yes, absolutely! We always have extra plants to share. Everyone who attends will go home with at least one free plant.


May I bring other items to the swap?

During the event we will also have a designated area for free gardening items. So clean out your potting shed and bring your unwanted gardening books, magazines, tools, pots and seeds to share at the event. These items are considered donations and do not count as part of the swap. Please make sure all pots and tools are clean and free of dirt or other debris before bringing them to the library.
