Want to add some new plants to your garden for almost FREE?
This Saturday, April 3, Calloway’s Nursery is hosting a perennial plant swap in Fort Worth and Plano. This is a great way to expand your garden with shared plants, seedlings, and bulbs, as well as trade tips with other local gardeners. I love sharing my survivors plants with others and am really looking forward to this event!
The spring Perennial Swap is the third event of this typed hosted by Calloway’s locations and is free to the public. Additionally, there will be free bottled water and hourly drawings between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. for garden gift cards. A Master Gardener or plant expert will be on site at each location to answer gardening questions and offer gardening advice, too!
Calloway’s directions for how the swap works:
Step 1: Post what you have and what you want at the links below. If you have extra bulbs, roots or divided perennials list them to share. If you’re looking for something specific, post it at these links:

Step 2: Browse the Perennial Swap blog and create your shopping list. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, post a note to inquire if someone has what you want. Invite your friends, neighbors and family members to join in the fun. The more gardeners who come the more plants to trade!
Step 3: Come to the Perennial Swap and meet up to exchange and trade. Agree to meet at the swap and exchange plants. Arrive at the swap, get a free bottle of water and start shopping. Visit and trade plants.
Step 4: Take your new plants home, plant them up, enjoy them and SAVE money!
