Our Plant Swap and Sale is BARE ROOT ONLY due to invasive Jumping Worm.
Sale Day Details
Plants Should be Bare Root Only with Plant Tag Attached
This is a BARE ROOT ONLY sale (wash plant roots three times and bring plants in water, not soil) to avoid spreading the invasive Jumping Worm. (Read about this invasive species here.). 

​We recommend bringing plants in gallon size baggies (zip ones work best) with a little water in the bottom. Leave the top partially open so the plant can breathe.
