Fort Tryon Park: Plant Swap
Mark your calendars and start propogating those cuttings, we are hosting our second ever plant swap! After the success of last month’s swap, we wanted to keep momentum going! Join us once again (or for the first time!) on Billings Lawn in Fort Tryon Park
Stop and chat with us about all things plant and community or just drop off and pick up the plants of your choosing! Swap plants, cuttings, supplies, and your best plant tips & tricks. We will be coming with cuttings, potting soil, and plastic pots (while supplies last) so even if you have nothing to swap yourself, feel free to stop by regardless! We’ll also have some starter plant supplies and plant related crafts if you’d like to stay a while and get your hands dirty. As much as this event is about growing our green families, it is also about growing our community!
