Marsh River Cooperative Plant Swap

First, a big thank-you to all the members who joined us for the co-op cleanup two weekends ago! Your hard work truly made a difference; the space is looking beautiful and ready for a busy season of community events, starting with…

Our Annual Plant Swap! 

Join us on Sunday, May 18, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM for a free community plant swap. 

Whether you’re a longtime gardener or just getting started, the swap is a fun way to share your extra veggies, herbs, perennials, or even houseplants and grow your plant collection. Not only that, it’s a great way to connect with fellow plant lovers.

Here’s how it works: you bring a plant and you can take a plant home!

Plants commonly seen at the swap: Iris, agastache, feverfew, echinacea, violets, day lilies, monarda, hosta, and many vegetable seedlings and herbs. 

Kindly note: We ask that participants do not bring invasive species or plants that spread aggressively by runner roots. Some examples to avoid include mint, bishop’s weed/ground elder, and creeping bellflower. These plants are known to be problematic in Maine gardens.

Please help spread the word; this event is free and open to all!

Warmest regards, 
Marsh River Cooperative Board
