No donation required to get FREE plants! If you have extra goodies or drinks, please bring them to make this a welcoming place to meet new friends!
This event is held in a public park and will be crowded. If you require accomodation, please contact us at [email protected] ahead of time.
Donors:
* Please only donate plants that are considered native to Ontario or Québec by VASCAN. You can contact Mélanie ([email protected]) ahead of time to confirm whether or not to bring your plants.
* Do not donate non-native species, nor plants that are growing intertwined with non-native species.
* Please do not donate very tiny seedlings -- they should be at least a few centimetres tall.
* Please arrive at 12:00. If you are donating plants, you can choose plants in priority starting at 12:30.
* Please fill in this donation form prior to your arrival. Our volunteers will be reviewing them with you on site: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1v62QAPrPuiCz8Dr4CJ0NZkEB0BQ_ef4lByjGRaHSAzg/edit?tab=t.0
* You can either bring your pots full of seedlings or plants in water. No need to repot; plants that have been in water will handle transplanting better if they are fully hydrated.
* Containers to bring donations in:

Recipients:
* Bring your labels, containers, boxes, or bags to carry your plants.
* Once you have picked up plants, put them in the reserved area and do not pick plants in the reserved area.
* Please be considerate of others who may arrive later. Take only enough plants that you know you will be able to manage. There will be other opportunities to get free plants and seeds.
