Fall Plant Exchange set for Saturday

Posted

The Master Gardeners of Montgomery County will have their annual Fall Plant Exchange from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday.

This free event will be held in the Exhibit Hall at the Montgomery County 4-H Fairgrounds, 400 Parke Ave.

Do you have plants or other gardening items to share? Do you need new plants? There will be perennials, bulbs, seeds, house plants, tropicals, succulents, and many other plants to choose from.

Anyone is welcome to participate. Bring your “exchange items” to the fairgrounds by 9:30 a.m. the day of event so everyone will have a chance for a good selection, then “shop” the tables. If you aren’t prepared to trade anything, come anyway, and take home something new for your garden.

Donations of gently used clean garden tools, yard art, planters, and pots are welcome and will be available to select from.

Cash donations will be accepted with all proceeds going to Master Gardeners projects, including the Nicholson School Garden, the Seed Library, scholarships, Montgomery County Pollinator Garden and Master Gardener events which are “Helping Others Grow in Montgomery County.”

Organizers ask that no invasive species be brought to the exchange. For a list of invasive species please check out https://www.entm.purdue.edu/iisc/invasiveplants.html.

Event-goers will have the opportunity to have gardening questions answered and share gardening experiences with others.
