Bring one, take one.

Bring native pollinator plants to swap with Backyard Butterflies AND with other gardeners throughout the sale, no purchase required to participate. Participation in the swap is not required to attend the sale.

It takes a village to run a one-day sale

From setup to checkout to helping first-time visitors find the right plant, we need volunteers throughout the day.

Take a plant, no cost

Save a plant from the compost pile. We have plants that aren’t in sellable condition, but have enough life in them if you give them a chance. Sometimes we also have just too many of a particular species that didn’t sell well.
