About the event

Join us for our Summer Plant Swap! It will happen on Saturday, August 1 from 2:00-3:00 p.m. We’ll have a Master Gardener from Durham County Extension to answer your questions. Drop by to exchange or share houseplants, vegetable starts, annuals, perennials, or seeds. Please ensure that any items brought in are pest-free and labeled clearly.

So bring a plant, take a plant, check out a gardening book, or just come and talk to a Master Gardener!

This is a drop-in event so come anytime during the hour. For more information call 919-560-8593.

If you have questions about accessibility, program stimulation levels, and/or need disability accommodations, please contact us at 919-560-8593.
