Event Details

How does a plant swap work? Each attendee should bring plants, cuttings, or plant apparel to trade with other attendees. Tables will be provided to set up your collection so that others can clearly see what you are offering. If you see something you like, strike up a deal! This is also a great opportunity to learn more about plant care and share experiences with other plant collectors. Please, no plants for sale, just trades. Street parking is available, but please be prepared to possibly walk a block or two, as things can get a little busy on the weekends.
Email Monica for additional info.
