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.

Plants should have tags describing the plant. (Click here) for downloadable labels or pick up labels  on the Friends bureau in the lobby of the Library after May 15th.)​
