Fall Plant Exchange set for Saturday, Sept. 27    

By Sheri Bethard

President, Master Gardeners of Montgomery County

The Master Gardeners of Montgomery County will have their annual Fall Plant Exchange from 9 a.m. to noon, Saturday, Sept. 27. This free event will be held at the Montgomery County 4-H Fairgrounds, 400 Parke Av. in the Exhibit Hall.

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 School Garden, The Seed Library, Scholarships, Montgomery County Pollinator Garden and Master Gardener events  which  are “Helping Others Grow in Montgomery County”.

PLEASE – NO INVASIVE SPECIES. For a list of invasive species please check out https://www.entm.purdue.edu/iisc/invasiveplants.html.

Our event will give you the opportunity to have your gardening questions answered and share your 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.
