Garden Swap - all are welcome!
Are your perennials crowded? Have some gardening books and tools just taking us space? Sowed too many tomatoes? Have more seeds than you could ever plant? Cuttings looking for a new home?
Load up the car and join us for a garden swap! Share what you have and maybe go home with some new plants or garden goodies! Help grow some gardens and grow some community too!
How does the garden swap work? We ask participants to come with the plants, seeds, tools, books, etc. they are willing to share freely. Find new homes for the garden goodies you no longer need or use, and find some new garden goodies for your home!
Where does this event take place? If the weather is nice, we will set up in the garden area along the south side of the building. If the weather is inclement, we will more to an indoor space.
What should I bring? Definitely: garden things you'd like to share. Helpful: chair, sun protection, water, boxes for transporting, blanket/table to display your garden goodies, maybe some snacks(?)
Anything I shouldn't bring? Invasive or diseased plants! Check out this invasive plant guide from the State of Michigan for more information:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.michigan.gov/invasives/id-report/plants" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">michigan.gov/invasives/id-report/plants</a> Also, we love all pups, but we'd prefer they stay home for this event.
How accessible is the garden area? There is a freshly paved drive along the garden, and limited parking spaces on the paved surface available. Bathrooms are in the building, a short walk from the garden along paved surfaces with no steps required.
This event is during my dinner time! Ours too! Don't worry, we'll have some snacks and refreshments. Folks are welcome to bring their own personal food, or something to share, but it is by no means required or expected.
I'm not sure what color my thumb is, but I don't think it's green. Can I still come? Gardeners of all types and abilities are welcome. We also will be hosting a series of gardening classes as well as weekly garden gatherings for those looking for some guidance or community.
