Name: Seedling and Plant Swap
Start: 2025-10-05T15:00:00-04:00
End: 2025-10-05T16:30:00-04:00
Location: St. Paul of the Cross Passionist Retreat & Conference Center

The purpose of this event is to bring all the remaining plants that were grown from WOWC Seeds to Community seeds and share them with each other, our volunteers, and our membership. If you have been 'babysitting' some plants from WOWC, bring them along to the event. Additionally, if you have extra plants from your yard that you're willing to share with other WOWC members, bring those along as well!
Anyone who has ever been a WOWC event volunteer is welcome to join for the 'early access' time below, and ALL members are welcome to this event!
Special Consideration:
If you are planning to bring any plants from your garden to share, please consider washing roots to stop the spread of the invasive Asian Jumping Worm.

A special thank you to St. Paul of the Cross Passionist Retreat and Conference Center for allowing us to host this event on their property.
