Lithgow Library’s first-ever
Perennial Plant Swap
Saturday, June 3rd 9-11:30am
Looking to change some perennials, or thin out your beds? Consider donating plants to our first-ever perennial plant swap. Plants may be dropped off on Friday the 2nd, between 9-5, or the morning of the swap. Please have them labelled and in a pot. For every plant you donate, you will receive a ticket to choose a plant(s) from the other plant offerings. This event is rain or shine and will take place outside the library, adjacent to the parking lot. Note: this swap is for perennials, not annuals!
