Plant Swap Saturday at Township Building

Calling all gardeners: do you have too much of one plant and would like more variety?

Then mark your calendar for Saturday from 10 to 2 p.m., when Newtown Township Parks and Recreation will host a plant swap. The swap will be held at the Newtown Township Municipal Building. It costs $2 for residents; $3 for nonresidents.

During the swap, participants will bring their own labeled plants, with growing directions. For every plant brought, the participant will get a ticket. 

The tickets will go into a hat and will be chosen at random. The tickets will dictate the order of the swap.

Plants should be of the herbaceous (non-woody) type and can include herbs, flowers, vegetables and berries. Participants should bring a maximum of eight of one species.

Seed collectors can bring their seeds for a separate swap. Those with extra herb plants can consider donating to the township's new herb garden at the Clark Nature Center.
