HELP OUT: The Plant Exchange

Project Overview

This event is where gardeners, landscapers, urban farmers, and beginners come to exchange plants, equipment, and information about ways to make the urban environment more sustainable, beautiful, and healthy. A few people giving a couple of hours of their time makes all the difference!

Volunteers will support by trimming, watering, arranging plants, helping shoppers, and more!

About the Plant Exchange

The Plant Exchange is a community and celebration that encourages resource sharing, reuse, recycling, and green practices. It creates strong neighborhood connections by people-to-people redistribution of excess plants and trees to help beautify and enrich our neighborhoods.
