The Master Gardeners of Montgomery County will have their annual fall plant exchange from 9 a.m. to noon Sept. 27. This free event will be held at in the exhibit hall of the Montgomery County 4-H Fairgrounds, 400 Parke Ave.
Do you have plants or other gardening items to share? Do you need new plants? We will have perennials, bulbs, seeds, house plants, tropicals, succulents, and many other plants to choose from.
Anyone is welcome to participate. Bring your “exchange items” to the fairgrounds by 9:30 a.m. the day of event so everyone will have a chance for a good selection, then “shop” the tables. If you aren’t prepared to trade anything, come anyway, and take home something new for your garden. Donations of gently used clean garden tools, yard art, planters, and pots, etc. Are welcome and will be available to select from.
Cash donations will be accepted with all proceeds going to Master Gardeners projects, including the Nicholson Elementary School garden, the Seed Library, scholarships, Montgomery County Pollinator Garden and Master Gardener events which are “helping others grow in Montgomery County.”
Organizers request no invasive species. For a list of invasive species, check out https://www.Entm.Purdue.Edu/iisc/invasiveplants.html.
No dogs are allowed at the event except for licensed service dogs.
The fall plant exchange will give participants the opportunity to have gardening questions answered and share gardening experiences with other gardeners.
“This event is a great way for you to try something new in your own garden without any additional cost,” said Sheri Bethard, president of the Master Gardeners of Montgomery County.
