Join us Saturday, October 10th from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. out front of the shop for a Community Prop Swap! 501 Main, Downtown Ames.Bring pest-free cuttings, plants, propagations, pottery or other gear you’re looking to offload. Take something new to brighten up your space! This event is FREE and you do not have to bring anything to participate. Not only does this give our community members the chance to rehome plants that no longer bring them joy, it’s also a good opportunity for the shop to share some of the propagations, rehab plants, and merchandise bric-a-brac we don’t have space to grow or don’t have a use for.
Can’t make it on the day of the event but have stuff you want to donate? Feel free to bring any plants or items to the shop during regular business hours until the 10th.
Please label your plants to the best of your knowledge, and we will also have tape and sharpies. If you bring your cutting in a container, make sure it’s one you’re ok giving away.
We will also have FREE repotting for plants - up to 6” pots, limit 3 pots, while dirt lasts. This can be repotting a plant from the prop swap or just one from your collection that needs some TLC. (This will be regular potting soil, not specialty soil for orchids, carnivorous, or cacti, etc.) Back Alley staff will be available to answer questions about anything planty or point you in the right direction towards a plant care product we recommend.
Please do not bring any pots full of dirt, flimsy plastic pots, substantially broken pottery (small chips and cracks are ok), or plants with pests.
Any plants or pottery remaining at the end of the prop swap will become property of Back Alley House Plants and may be donated elsewhere or used in future workshops or events.
*Rain location will be indoors in the 401 Clark suite, which is the north suite of the building through the entrance on Clark.
