Early-Bird Perennial Plant Exchange, Sponsor: Landscape Direct
8:30-11:00am: Village Park
Romeo's Victorian
Festival includes our annual perennial exchange. Share your love of gardening
with others. Plant exchanges are a great way to share your plants and add some
new varieties to your yard. Talk with other gardeners and gather new
information along with new plants. Bring your plants to share and acquire new
ones. Landscape Direct will be on hand to answer questions and will supply free
raffles opportunities. Exchanges only, no sales. Tips for splitting plants:
divide your perennials and pot them in a disposable container. Label if
possible. Yogurt, milk & cottage cheese containers make great pots. Make
sure your plants are free from bugs and disease. Tell a friend to come along
with the plants and enjoy the fun.
