Then bring along your excess plants, divisions, seedlings, seeds, and bulbs to the swap and prepare to pick up some new plants.Also bring your surplus tools that are in good working condition, gardening books, magazines, garden ornaments, etc. Please do not bring houseplants or invasive species such as English Ivy, pachysandra, periwinkle, Rose of Sharon — we have more than enough. Large objects that are not traded get to go back home with their respective donors. Please bring a card with a description of your plant.
If you are a new gardener and don’t have anything for the Plant Swap, you can always garner a few tips as well as pick up some plants.
In addition, we are bringing back the Scavenger Hunt! This is a fun and engaging outdoor family activity that you can take home and do on your own. You can take home the laminated reusable sheets to look for nature items on your walks around Greenbelt throughout the seasons. One is suitable for younger kids, and one for more advanced readers.
