FREE Plant Exchange Bowling Green and Toledo

What’s Not to Love about Free?
Free hostas, daylilies, forget-me-nots, coneflowers? Sometimes there are free cacti, canna tubers, ornamental grasses, seeds, and vegetable starts?
Two upcoming events, April 29 and May 6, are opportunities to try new plants, mostly perennials, as well as to discuss your landscaping ideas and challenges with master gardeners.
First up is the Wood County Plant Exchange, the morning of Sat. April 29 in the Wood County Fairgrounds at Haskins and Poe roads on the north side of Bowling Green. Everyone who shows up will be able to select two plants.
But if you’re already a plants person, bring somethings to share from your garden, garden-toolbox, or houseplant collection, and for every item you bring you’ll be able to select an item. Bring 10 plants (labeled and weed-free, please), and you’ll get 10, plus the two for showing up. If you’re bringing a lot, follow the signs to the drop-off area where volunteers will unload your vehicle and sort your donations into appropriate categories that makes “shopping” easy.
