Save the Date & Swap Your Plants
|
The Plant Lounge is hosting a plant swap event to bring the community together. A plant swap is an event where you bring your plants, propagations, cuttings – anything that no longer brings you joy, or you just don’t want anymore, and you can trade with other plant lovers. Plants MUST be pest free in order to qualify to “sit at the table.” Someone will be available to inspect if you need assistance. Do you grow rare plant varieties or sell nature-inspired items? Please reach out to Tracey if you’d like to register to be a vendor: text (855) 984-1625. We’re not just swapping plants; we’re cultivating friendships.
