Come and join us for Beverly's third annual plant swap at Obear Park on Sunday 18 May in collaboration with Green Beverly. This event is aimed at both experienced gardeners and those who are just getting started. Its mission is to create a vibrant, connected community in Beverly with more (native) flowers, fruit, and vegetables in all of our backyards. This year, we will have up to 100 free native pollinator kits to give away - each with four plants perfect for our region.
How the swap works:
1. Bring healthy, pest-free plants to contribute - these can be seedlings, perennials that you've dug up and divided from your garden, house plants, and so on. Don’t worry if you don’t have anything. Come and start your garden adventure with us!
2. Label each plant. We find cut up yogurt pots work well as free labels.
3. Have fun! You don't need a plant to participate. Enjoy coffee from Beantrust, talk to gardening & sustainability experts (Green Beverly & Plant Magic), and hang with your Beverly neighbors!
Extra details:
- event starts at 9am. First 30 mins are drop-off only so that we can organize the plants and give people time to connect over a coffee
- event is rain or shine as the swap is held under the pavilion at Obear
- free coffee from the awesome Beantrust Coffee Bar will be served for those who want it; please consider bringing a reusable cup, though we will have compostable ones and a compost bag available
