Program Description

Plant Swap

Bring to the Library's North Patio your plants, cuttings and seeds to share, and take some new plants home. Introduce your plant to its new parent, and be ready to share information like its name, light, soil and water preferences.

If you need help keeping your plants happy, you can swap tips with other plant parents and check out a plant care book or two. 

  • 2pm: Plants will be set out for viewing.
  • 2:30pm: Swapping starts (Don’t be late; the swap goes fast and can be over in a matter of minutes!)

Online registration for this program can be completed below. You may also register by calling 309.590.6141 or by visiting the Adult Services Desk at the Library and registering in person. 

In the case of inclement weather, the plant swap will be postponed to the Spring.
