◙ Quick Tips for Swapping
☆ Label Your Greenery: Please write down the names of any plants or cuttings you bring so their new owners know exactly what they are taking home.
☆ Healthy Plants Only: Please check your plants thoroughly for bugs before you pack them up so we can keep everyone's home collections safe.
☆ All Gear Welcome: Rooted plants, fresh cuttings in moss, extra nursery pots, or plant accessories you don't use anymore are all perfect for the swap table.
Every single one of our events helps support our mission as a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, dedicated to spreading plant education and working toward a permanent community green space for the city of Richmond.
Start clipping those plants, get them rooting, and we will see you on June 28th!
