About this Event

Bring a little life to our FREE event with our Plant Swap! This is a fun, low-pressure way to share and discover new plants, no need to bring something for everyone. Simply bring a plant, clipping, or propagation (if you’d like), and swap with another attendee.

Whether you’re a seasoned plant lover or just getting started, this is a great opportunity to connect, trade tips, and take home something new. No plant? No problem—come learn, mingle, and enjoy the experience!
