Description

If you are going to need a table (or 2), let me know when you get a ticket. That is the only way I can keep count! Tables are 8' rectangular. There is no fee for them. If you want to set up a tent or bring your own tables, etc., please let me know that, too, so we can reserve a space for you. (Also free.) We are just cool this way. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Who can participate? Anyone who wishes. We encourage you to bring at least one plant or garden item to swap or give away. You are not limited on the quantity of items that you bring, but all plants must be pest free. Admission is free, but we need a head count, so please sign up for a free ticket and tell me if you need a table! Can I Sell Items, too? Yes, if you want to bring plants or gardening-related items to sell, you can, but we ask that you also bring some things to swap or give away. We welcome windchimes, compost, garden art, indoor, outdoor and vegetable plants, and free stuff. We will have a table for you to leave your unneeded pots, tools, even broken garden things. Someone may be able to use it! What else can I bring? Seeds, plants, cuttings, starters, pots, garden tools, garden art, windchimes, soil, bags of compost, gardening books or brochures. Please pot your plants individually and wrap your cuttings individually. It will make it easier to trade them. Please include tags with information regarding the NAME of each plant, cutting or seed and if you wish, information on how to plant/care for them. People will need to know the names of what they are getting. Who Will Be There? In the past, Shreveport DDA and Shreve Station was joined by members of the Northwest Louisiana Master Gardeners, Slow Food North Louisiana, and others. We hope to be again! Want to Partner with us on this? Email Liz at [email protected]. I will also not turn away volunteers to help on plant swap day! What Should Participants Bring?– Your items to swap. A couple of cardboard boxes for the stuff you will swap and take. Tags telling what your plants are. A few dollars in case you want to buy something. A big smile and neighborliness! It is always a HOOT! The event is covered, so it is RAIN OR SHINE. MORE HERE: Downtown Plant Swap Info PARKING Indicated in the map below. All on-street metered parking is FREE on Saturdays/Sundays. This is Shreve Station, 400 Crockett Street. It is a great venue that hosts live music, food trucks and special events when not hosting crazy gardeners!
