Celebrate earth day with lots of garden activities: plant swap, free clippings, garden tours and lots more. Event is FREE. See full description below!
We invite you to celebrate Earth Day with us. We will be offering an exciting array of activities for all ages:
Important Information for Swapping:
General Info: Both the plant and garden swap will be on a rolling basis, meaning items will be coming in and swapped throughout the duration of the event as visitors come and go. Donations to the Literary Garden are appreciated but not required to participate in either swap.
Garden Plant Swap:
Description: Divide or remove plants from your garden to exchange for other donated plant material. Native plants transplanted from the Literary Garden as well as from the gardens of other participants will be available.
Guidelines: Pot up plants a few days to one week before the swap to help ensure the plants' health and limit transplant shock before the event. All plants should be labeled at minimum with latin and common names, but all other known information such as height, width, light requirements (sun/shade/etc), soil preferences (wet/dry/sandy, etc), deer tolerance and other relevant info is helpful.
No invasive plants please!!!
Types of plants we will take are:
Garden Tools and Accessories Swap:
Description: Bring extra or unwanted garden tools and accessories to exchange for items brought to the event by other participants.
Guidelines: Items must be in working and non-broken condition, wiped off and cleared of spider webs and excessive debris.
Possible ideas to bring to the swap include but are not limited to:
The program will be outdoors around the library garden and the grounds of the library. If it rains, we will move into our meeting room on the basement level.
Bring bags and boxes to carry away all the goodies to take home!!!
Everyone gets to participate. Rain or shine! FREE
