Spring Plant Swap

Share the joy or gain what you need
Donations welcome!

Bring a plant, take a plant. Bring a pot, take a pot.

Equipment, books, tags — all of the above.

Gardeners are generous, so please don’t hesitate to join the fun even if you’re just starting out and don’t yet have plants to share. Potluck-style snack table. Free to join, but donations welcome. Please register.

Invest a little time in growth and joy with your friends at The Hope Collective! Whether you have plants to share or you’re starting from scratch, join us for a kind-hearted plant swap. Indoor, outdoor, perennial, or annual — bring them along so they can find a new home. Have extra pots, tools, books, plant tags, or supplies? Bring those too! There are so many neighbors who would love a hand building their green thumb. We’ll also have a treat table with a spring potluck vibe — bring something to share or just come enjoy the goodies.

Gardeners are GENEROUS, so you don’t need to bring something to participate. If you can, that’s wonderful—but if you’re just beginning, please come by to add to your greenery. No fee to join. We’ll be accepting donations for The Hope Collective and a local farm.

At the end of the day all excess plants, tools and goods will be donated to youth-driven garden initiatives. Emails are out and we are eagerly awaiting to see who would like to accept. Please check back to see who we will be supporting.

Optional items to bring:

• Tables or picnic blankets if you want your own display space

• Labeled plants or tags with care notes (helpful but not required)

• Small pots, trays, or paper bags for people to transport plants

• Snacks to share for the potluck table

Please register so we can prepare for the love and make enough space and treats for everyone. We can’t wait to grow with you in the old Howland-Gould building — a cozy, historic spot perfect for swapping stories and seedlings.

Registration link will be added on 4/11.
