Community Plant Exchange
June 15th @ 10:00 am
The
Edelweiss Garden Club (EGC) invites all seasoned and budding
gardeners to take advantage of its Annual Spring Community Plant
Exchange. The “Exchange” will take place on Saturday, June 15,
10 am – 1 pm on the lawn of the Otsego County Courthouse in
Gaylord. Plan to come rain or shine.
The Garden Club provides
this opportunity to encourage area gardeners to “grow” a little
and add something new to their gardens at no cost. All plants
offered at the event are perennials (live from year to year
without replanting) and a small selection of gardens
accessories, including books, will also be available.
The Exchange is the
result of Garden Club members sharing their love of gardening by
digging, splitting and potting perennial plants from their
gardens to give to others. You are encouraged, but not required,
to bring a plant and take a plant. If you have too much of a
particular flower in your garden, why not dig some up, pot it,
and share it with others? Then, take home something new to try.
The Exchange is a perfect time to add new variety, texture and
color to your garden! Club members will also be on hand to try
to answer any questions.
EGC is a 501(c)(3)
non-profit organization founded to provide gardening knowledge
and to beautify our community through public gardens, including
those at the Energy Outlet (Sportsplex), Loon Rest Area, the
