Too many daylilies? Tired of that house plant? Swap ’em.
Iola Public Library holds its annual plant swap from 9 a.m. to noon, Saturday, May 6, at the gazebo on the library’s east lawn. The first hour is for donors only — bring one, take one. After that, first come, first served.
“The more plants, the merrier,” says Colleen Dobbins, swap coordinator. “We’re still looking for plant donors.”
Cuttings, seedlings or root divisions of all kinds are accepted, including shrubs, perennials, annuals, vegetables and herbs.
Plants may be dropped off at the library Thursday or Friday before the sale, Dobbins says. Donors may drive up to the alley book drop and phone in for someone to receive them. Plants should be labeled.
Among plants expected: hostas, cone flowers, iris, astilbe, black-eyed susans, lambs ears, and lily of the valley. Free garden seeds will be available outside, as well as the seed library inside. Library hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
