🌱 Leaf a Plant, Take a Plant!

Join us at ICE on April 18th for a beautiful, community-centered Earth Day Plant Swap

Bring a plant you’d love to share and exchange it for something new to grow in your own space. Whether it’s a cutting from your favourite pothos, a thriving succulent, or even gardening items you no longer use, this is all about exchanging, reusing, and connecting.

We’re opening it up beyond just plants—so feel free to bring:
Plants (potted or cuttings)
Pots and planters
Gardening tools
Gardening books
Seeds, soil, or other plant care items

This gathering is all about connection, sustainability, and the simple joy of nurturing life. It’s a chance to meet fellow plant lovers, swap tips, and spend time in a lush, welcoming garden surrounded by nature and creativity.

What to Expect:
• A relaxed, open-air plant swap in our garden
• A chance to exchange plants, cuttings, tools, and gardening knowledge
• A community of people who love plants, nature, and good energy
• Live music, fresh air, and a feel-good Earth Day vibe

A Few Notes:
• Free and open to the public
• All levels welcome — from first-time plant parents to seasoned growers
• Items should be clean and in good condition
• Come as you are, stay as long as you like, and enjoy the space

Let’s celebrate Earth Day — grounded in nature, rooted in community, and growing together. More Info »
