Plant Swap and Gardening Programs Happening in May

Spring Plant Swap at the Ada Public Library – May 21 from 6:30-7:30 p.m.

Visit the Ada Public Library on May 21st at 6:30 PM to pick up a free plant and enjoy light refreshments while you browse our collection of gardening and landscaping books.

How to Participate:

To participate in the event simply bring a plant from home and exchange it for another plant at the swap. Don’t have anything to exchange? No problem, there will be extras to share. Perennials, annuals, bulbs, houseplants and cuttings are all welcome.

We will also have a designated area for free gardening items, so bring your unwanted gardening books, magazines, tools, pots and seeds to share at the event. These items are considered donations and do not count as part of the swap. Please make sure all pots and tools are clean and free of dirt or other debris before bringing them to the library.

This event is free to the public and everyone is welcome to attend.
