Missed the last plant swap? Green Venture has another one coming up! This exciting event will bring together fellow green thumbs and plant enthusiasts. The next Green Venture House Plant Swap is set to take place on June 15, 2024 10am to noon.
The last plant swap brought out seasoned and experienced plant parents and newbies alike! Many plants were donated and swapped including staghorn ferns, dracaenas, umbrella plants, pothos and more!
Here’s what you can expect from the Houseplant Swap:
Date: June 15 2024
Time: 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Location: Woodlands Park, across from Westinghouse
Come to the plant swap to learn about the latest “depave” project happening at Westinghouse in the Fall and join in the stewardship event happening to revitalize the garden beds at Woodlands Park.
You can participate in both events, but that’s not mandatory. Woodlands Park is located near 541 Cafe so drop by for a coffee and treat after the event and support the pay-it-forward social enterprise!

What should I bring to swap?
Gardening supplies like trellises, books, grow lights, pots, hand tools. Plant clippings, indoor plants, anything gardening related. Bring a box to transport your trades.
What if I don’t have anything to swap?
Still come as you can buy plants and supplies by donation.
Can I bring plants from my garden?
To help reduce the spread of contaminated soil and jumping worms, we are focusing on swapping indoor plants.
