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.
While you're looking at plants enjoy a taste of lemonade & community
We'll have some cold lemonade 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.
This program is free and open to the public. Anyone can come! You do not have to be a member of UMNA to participate.
