Do you have overgrown perennials?
Bring divided plants, labeled if possible, and exchange them for something new. Do you have a lot of plants? No problem! Bring them and we'll find them a garden
(Learn more about dividing perennials below!)
No plants to swap?
No problem! Get your perennial garden started with a donation to the Lethbridge & District Horticultural Society
Have perennials to share but can't make the Exchange?
We’d be happy to take them off your hands! Please drop them off at Hilgersom Landscape Centre before May 10, and we’ll find them a loving home.
REMEMBER: Ensure divided plants are W**d-free before bringing them to the Exchange. (We’ll have experienced gardeners nearby to help catch any unwelcome and unnoticed stowaways.)

Why Divide Perennials?
Dividing perennials is more than creating more plants, it’s a vital part of garden maintenance! Here’s why:
-Encourages healthy growth
Overcrowded perennials compete for nutrients, leading to weaker plants. Dividing gives them space to thrive
- Boosts Blooms
Many perennials flower more vigorously after being divided, leading to healthier, more vibrant gardens
- Controls Size & Spread
Some perennials can take over garden beds if left unchecked. Dividing helps maintain balance
- Revitalizes Aging Plants
Older plants can become woody or die out in the middle. Division keeps them young and vigorous
- Creates More Plants
Share with friends, family or fellow gardeners —because who doesn’t love free plants?
