The Plant Swap

The Plant Swap is our way of helping you and other citizens in our community to acquire plants at no cost to help you get started or supplement your garden.

Bringing plants to swap is totally optional! We will have a selection of plants for sale during the event. We accept all cards, check, and cash.

How does the plant swap work?

We will have a designated area to place plants. You will be exchanging plants with us and with other attendees of the Open House. Be sure to label your plants!

Generally, for each plant you bring you can swap it for another plant — in other words an equal exchange. While there is no limit to how many plants you may bring, be reasonable. 

What plants should I bring to the swap?

Generally, any plant that is considered a nectar plant or plant good for pollinators; any plant that is a known host plant for moths or butterflies. Please do not bring known invasive species or house plants.

Do I have to bring plants to swap to attend?

The Plant Swap is optional!

Remember, it’s an Open House, too! Bringing any plants to swap is up to you.

What plants will you have available for purchase?

We will have plants that are currently available in our Plant Shop and a few more only available at the Open House.
