We hope you join us tomorrow for our Summer Plant Exchange, Saturday June 6th!

Have extra plants to share? Bring them to our community plant exchange and discover something new for your home or garden! Indoor or outdoor plants are accepted! How it works:

Drop-off: 9–11 AM
• Bring in your healthy, pest-free plants and receive one ticket for each plant donated. Label your plants with the type of plant and if it is best suited to the indoors or outdoors.
• Plants will be briefly inspected to ensure no invasive or noxious species are included.

Exchange: 12–1 PM
• Use your ticket to “shop” for new plants to take home!

After the exchange, any remaining plants will be available for anyone to take. Come share, swap, and connect with fellow plant lovers—your next favorite plant might be waiting 🌼
