Photos last year's event

Date & Time

Sunday, May 18th from 2:00 PM until 4:00 PM

  • Plant donation drop off will start at 1:30 PM. See details below.

Location

How the plant exchange will work

  • Donated plants will be displayed in a designated area.

  • The Plant Exchange Lemonade Social will be open to Upper Monroe neighbors and members of the public starting at 2:00 PM.

  • Upper Monroe neighbors and members of the public may take plants for their private homes & gardens until the Plant Exchange + Lemonade Social ends at 4:00 PM.

  • Donors may return at 4:30 PM to pick up any leftover plants.

Participants DO NOT have to donate plants in order to bring plants home with them.

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. Click on the link below to learn more.
