Lamoille County 4-H and the Lamoille Regional Solid Waste Management District are teaming up to host a Spring Plant Swap and planting project on May 18 from 10 a.m. to noon.
The event will be held rain or shine at 29 Sunset Drive in Morrisville where both organizations are based. The public is invited to donate plants and take some home.
Annuals, perennials, bulbs, tubers, houseplants, root cuttings, trees and shrubs will all be accepted. They should be pest- and disease-free and individually labeled with the plant's name or cultivar and care instructions.
During the event, 4-H’ers will prepare a flowerbed and plant flowers under the building’s sign. Other youths are welcome to help. All materials will be provided.
In addition, there will be take-home educational resources, trivia, a raffle and opportunities to learn about upcoming 4-H programming and what each organization does in the community. Lamoille Soil compost also will be available on-site for sale.
