# 2024 October 19: Plant Exchange + Cider Social
The Plant Exchange Cider Social is a collaboration between the Upper Monroe Neighborhood Association and [Wide Water Gardens](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064660480904). **This activity is FREE and open to all neighbors and members of the public. You do not have to be a member of the Upper Monroe Neighborhood Association or Wide Water Gardens to participate.** ## The Basics **PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:** Bring a plant. Take a plant. Participants DO NOT have to donate plants in order to bring plants home with them. **While you're looking at plants enjoy a taste of cider & community.** We'll have some cold cider for anyone interested. We hope you'll hang out for a few minutes and chat. This is a great way to meet new friends and say hi to those you already know. * **LOCATION:** [Wide Water Gardens](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064660480904) <[**MAP LINK**](https://maps.app.goo.gl/nv6scBQjio8vVc6V6)> * **DATE:** Saturday, October 19th * **TIME:** 2:00 pm until 4:00 pm (One day only.) #### ARTICLE: [Here’s What to Plant in Fall for a Beautiful Blooming Spring Yard](https://www.bhg.com/gardening/yard/garden-care/what-to-plant-in-the-fall/) ## How the plant exchange will work * Donated plants will be displayed in a designated area. * The Plant Exchange + Cider Social will be open to Upper Monroe neighbors and members of the public starting at 2:00 pm on Saturday, October 19th. * Upper Monroe neighbors and members of the public may take plants for their private homes & gardens until the Plant Exchange Lemonade Social ends at at 4:00 pm on Saturday, October 19th. * Donors may return at **Saturday, October 19th at 4:00 pm** to pick up any leftover plants. * Plants that are not picked up at **Saturday, October 19th at 4:00 pm** will be composted or used in [Wide Water Gardens](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064660480904) beds, if appropriate. ### Additional guidance * Donated plants should be clearly labeled. * Please note if your donation is a decorative yard plant or an edible vegetable plant and/or the particular type of plant/vegetable you are donating. (Example, "Rose".) * Basic care/placement notes are encouraged but not required. (Example, "Likes shade.") * Donated plants must be prepared so the recipient can transport the plant easily and without any additional care. Plant containers don’t need to be pots, recycled containers or plastic cups could work just as well. * Invasive species are problematic. It's easier to avoid planting invasives than it is to remove them later.
