***NATIVE PLANTS*** are best, since these are the plants that support our local birds, bees, butterflies, insects, and ecosystems. Bring as many native plants or seeds as you can! We will remove any invasive plants from the swap -- plants like Vinca (periwinkle), English Ivy, Rose of Sharon, and others. The invasive plants may be easy to share, since they spread quickly in a garden -- but they also escape from gardens and take over wild areas, displacing the native wildflowers! You may not have known your plant was invasive, so we mean no offense if we ask you to take certain plants back home. Let's learn together. We hope you will enjoy adding native plants to your garden!
What do we share?
* Native Plants - flowers, shrubs, tree, and seeds!
* Houseplants, Shrubs, Veg plants/seeds!
* Non-native plants - only if NOT invasive!
* Pots & Garden Stuff!
Label what you bring.
Come early to get help with labels.
Not sure about a plant? Bring it and ask!
COME EARLY! We start right at 2:00.
Arrive by 1:45. Put your plants in our area of the parking lot. We can help with plant info!
At 2:00, we'll say GO! Take plants - as many as you brought.
If you did not bring anything, let others choose first. Take your fair share. The event moves quickly!
Our parking lot area will be marked, so we can sort plants:
* Native Sun * Native Trees/Shrubs
* Native Part Sun * Vegetable/Herb Plants
* Native Shade * Seeds - Native/Veg/Herb
* Native Groundcovers * Misc (Pots/garden stuff)
* Houseplants (Non-native OK inside!)
* Non-native Plants (NOT invasive!)
This event is OUTDOORS in the back parking lot, next to the woods. Cascades Public Library, 21030 Whitfield Place, Sterling, VA.
