Plant Swap & Share at the Community Garden

This free event offers both experienced and new gardeners a chance to start a robust garden - with both native plants and veggies!

If you're new to gardening, this event is the place to get started! Meet other garden enthusiasts, tour the LMPP Community Garden's varied planting beds, and take home free plants and seeds! 

If you're an experienced gardener, please spread the joy by bringing your favorite plants and seeds to swap and share. Please limit your generosity to vegetable plants and native plants - and maybe even some spare gardening equipment if you have it!

Strange as it sounds, we're trying to prevent the spread of invasive jumping worms, so please follow these simple steps when bringing your plants to the event: 
1. Dig up your plants. 
2. Shake the dirt off the roots. 
3. Gently rinse the roots clean.  
4. Label each plant (include the botanical name/cultivar if you can). 
5. Bring them to the Swap & Share in a bucket of water or wrapped in wet paper and tucked in a plastic bag. 

Walk-ins welcome; register to receive a reminder email. In the event of inclement weather, this event will take place in the Lexington Park Library meeting rooms.
