Go Green Plant Swap at Waynesboro-Wayne County Library
Waynesboro-Wayne County Library had their first Go Green Plant Swap on Thursday, April 23, 2009 from 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Since it was such a success, they plan to make this an annual event.
A speaker from a local nursery presented a short talk on roses. Free brochures were provided by the Wayne County Extension Service and the library. The library also provided refreshments, door prizes, and displayed books on gardening.
These are some of the interesting plants that were swapped by participants: swamp sunflowers, Mexican petunias, walking iris, bearded iris, ginger, mint, stripped cane, cosmos, crinum lily, lamb’s ear, fig tree, Rose of Sharon, running roses, phlox, Chinese evergreen, ivy, aloe vera, sheet shrub, dusty miller, succulent plants, a banana tree, daylilies, twentieth century plant, and a variety of seeds.
