Annual Spring Perennial Exchange to Take Place on Saturday

13th District Alderman Scott Spiker is pleased to share that the Garden District’s spring Perennial Exchange will return this Saturday – May 10 from 10 a.m. to noon at 6th and Norwich (one block south of 6th and Howard). The event is suitable for experienced gardeners seeking new items for the season, or those just looking to add something different to their yard or garden. Those bringing plants to exchange are encouraged to properly label the plant with its name, height, and color. Other gardening related items such as bulbs, seeds, tools or decorative pieces can also be brought to share.

Returning this year, select perennials/annuals and vegetable plants will be available to purchase for $2-$10 with the proceeds benefiting the local gardens. Just in time for Mother’s Day, gift-wrapping will also be available for purchased items.

“The Perennial Exchange is one of my favorite events of the spring, as residents from the 13th District and nearby areas connect over their shared passion for gardening and home beautification,” said Alderman Spiker. “I greatly appreciate the work of the Garden District Neighborhood Association and their volunteers who put on this event annually, and would encourage gardeners of all skill levels to stop by on Saturday.”

The event will be held rain or shine. Should inclement weather occur, the Perennial Exchange would take place at the water tower across the street at 4001 S. 6th St.
