About this Event

Join the Huron-Clinton Metroparks for a Native Plant Swap. Have an abundance of native plants or too many of one kind? Bring your extras to the plant swap! Whether you’ve started them from seed, have leftovers from your garden, or just need to make space, this potluck-style event is a great chance to trade and discover new native varieties.

No plants to swap? No worries — you’re still welcome to come and pick up a few native plants for your garden or yard!

Discover more about native plants, invasive species, and how you can become a Master Rain Gardener. Staff will be on hand to answer questions and offer tips on enhancing your garden, saving money, supporting local wildlife, and more!

This project has been funded wholly or in part through Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s Nonpoint Source Program by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

This is NOT a ticketed event. Registration is highly encouraged in order to receive important updates about this event. Questions? Email [email protected]!
