Downtown Library

Beems Auditorium A/B

Looking to trade houseplants that don't bring you joy anymore? Bring in your healthy plants or rooted cuttings for the library's semi-annual plant swap.

Participants may bring potted plants or rooted cuttings for the swap. Each cutting or plant brought in will be awarded a ticket for trading. There will be no repotting at the event. All plants should be in containers they can go home in. Rooted cuttings need to be in a sealed plastic baggie with a damp paper towel. Please label plants and cuttings with the type of plant being swapped. We ask that all plants and cuttings be healthy and pest free as a courtesy to other plant lovers. 

Plant and rooted cutting check-in is 1-1:30 pm. The swap begins after all plants have been checked in. After everyone with tickets has made their choices, leftover plants will be available to those without tickets. Questions about the swap may be emailed to programming@crlibrary.org.
