Native & Garden Plant Swap

Join Merry Lea for our first ever Vegetable and Native Plant Swap in partnership with Indiana Native Plant Society (INPS). Pot up your extra plants and join other growers and plant enthusiasts to trade them. Don’t have a plant to swap? We’ve got you covered! Everyone who attends will be able to participate. This is a great event to meet other plant enthusiasts in the community, learn about new plants, and of course take home a new plant! 

When: Saturday, May 16
Time: 9a – 12p
Where: Farmstead | 2152 S 425 W | Albion, IN 46701
Cost: Free

What to bring: 

  • Bring your plants, clearly tagged. 
  • A notepad and pencil may be helpful for taking notes. 
  • A water bottle 
  • A box to carry your new plants home in

 

How it works: 

  1. Pot up your extra native plants & vegetables and label them clearly so people know what they are. Plants must fall into one of these categories. 
  2. Upon arrival, participants will sign in with the number of plants they brought to trade and draw numbers. The person with the lowest number gets to pick first, then the next person, etc. 
  3. Each person will get as many turns as plants they have brought. 
  4. Don’t have a plant to swap? Merry Lea will have a few extras to make swapping possible for everyone who would like to join.
