    Plant Swap at the Jackson Branch

    Calling all local plant lovers! Come hang out with us, meet other plant parents, and exchange plant clippings, full plants, or seeds on Saturday, September 20th from 10 AM to 11 AM at the Larry R. Jackson Branch Library. Registration is required.

    To be sure everyone has a great experience, we ask that you do the following:

    1. Bring only healthy, pest-free plants.  Check your plants and soil for pests and disease before you bring them.
    2. Bring at least one plant, cutting or seed pack to trade.  The more you bring, the more you can go home with, but you must have something to trade to participate in the swap. 
    3. Label all plants, cuttings, and seeds.  All swapped items must be labeled with the type of plant and care instructions.
    4. Plants/cuttings must be in a container, able to transport.  Plants being swapped must be in a pot you are willing to part with.  Cuttings should be wrapped in a wet paper towel and placed in a ziploc bag.
    5. Bring a box or container to take your new plants home.  This is the perfect time to use that pile of totes or un-broken down boxes. 
    6. Trades and giveaways only, no selling.  No buying/selling of plants among participants will be allowed.  The purpose of the plant swap is to increase your plant collection and meet other plant parents.
