Permaculture Plant and Seed Swap & Shop + Potluck

Bring some food to share, and your favorite plants & seeds to swap. Please label your food with ingredients including allergens. Please label your plants and seeds with the name of the plant, flowering color and season (if applicable), harvested year, planting season and plant needs (sun/shade, wet or dry conditions), and any other applicable info. Please bring cash to donate to Region Resilience or JoyBomb! Social Center. We also have PayPal.

All ages are welcome, kids included. No need to bring food, plants, or seeds to swap if you do not have them. No need to attend the whole time. Pop in any time between 1-3pm for the Plant/Seed Swap and Shop.

As you arrive, you will receive tickets for your plants/seeds for swap, or you can purchase tickets. These tickets will then be used to "purchase" others' plants/seeds. Tickets can be purchased with cash or PayPal.

We will start with a potluck and a short demo program on seed saving led by Rebecca Koetz, Purdue Extension Lake County Urban Ag Educator.

Then we'll swap plants and seeds – proceeds will go toward NWI Region Resilience, home to the NWI Permaculture Meetup and CoThrive Timebank. These will help pay for space reservations, website domain costs, Meetup software costs, and event and board insurance. Donations can also go toward Joy Bomb Social Center.
Donations of boxes and containers for carrying plants out are also appreciated!

Please feel welcome to bring flyers for your community events!
This event will take place at JoyBomb Social Center in Lake Station.
