Plant Swap – Swissvale Senior Center
October 12, 2024 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
As you wrap up garden tasks for fall, swap some of your garden abundance!
Dig up plants you don’t want anymore or divide up your perennials (it’s good for them anyway).
Meet us downstairs at the Swissvale Library (1800 Monongahela) on Saturday, October 12 between 1PM-3PM for a fall plant swap.
– Bring plants to share and/or take home other peoples plants.
– Try to get plenty of roots and soil to share with your neighbor gardeners. Pot them up in clean pots.
– Label everything – plant names, variety and even photos if you got them. If you have tips or tricks for that specific plant, share them.
Examples of perennial plants that like to be planted or divided in fall: coneflowers, comfrey, joe pye weed, russian sage, shasta daisy, alliums, asters, hosta, phlox, bleeding heart, lamb’s ears, mint, hens & chicks, black eyed susan, daylily, iris, tulip, and other spring-flowering bulbs, corms, and tubers
Aside from the main plant swap, feel free to bring seeds or tools you want to share. We’re mostly thinking about outdoor garden plants, but if you have indoor plant cuttings or rooted indoor plants to share, that works, too.
