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 9 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Garden District Community Garden, S. 6th St. and W. Norwich Ave. This will take place in the parking lot south of Norwich (one block south of Howard).
Come meet fellow garden enthusiasts to exchange plants and gardening items. The event is suitable for experienced gardeners seeking new items for the season, or those just looking to expand and beautify 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 for purchase for $2-$10, with proceeds benefiting the local gardens. Just in time for Mother’s Day, gift-wrapping will also be available for purchased items.
“The Garden District Neighborhood Association and its volunteers put together one of my favorite events of the season. It is exciting to see residents bond over a shared culture of creativity and environmental sustainability, especially in an urban area,” Alderman Spiker said. “I encourage new and experienced gardeners alike to stop by and connect with neighbors over a shared hobby.”
The event will be held rain or shine. In case of inclement weather, look for the event in the gazebo.
