04/08/2023 1:00pm 04/08/2023 3:00pm Houseplant Swap and Prairie Seed giveaway One of the best parts of growing houseplants is watching them multiply and then sharing them with others. Do you have houseplants you'd like to share? Want to add some diversity to your plant collection or start a new one? Join us for the ICPL Spring Houseplant Swap. Each person may bring up to 5 healthy houseplants or rooted cuttings. Plant drop off time is 1-1:30pm and the swap will begin at 2:00. You'll get one ticket per donated plant, and each ticket will get you one new plant to take home. At 2:30, or once all tickets are claimed, any plants left will be free for the taking. There will be no repotting at the event. Please only bring plants in pots that will go home with them. Please label your plants. We will also have Iowa native prairie seed mix to give away for those interested in establishing outdoor pollinator gardens this spring. Seed will be available while it lasts, first come first served. Iowa City Public Library Iowa City Public Library America/Chicago public
