KINGSTON, N.Y. — The Annual Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County’s (CCEUC) Master Gardener “Great Plant Swap & Sale” Returns on Saturday, June 10, 2023 at the Forsyth Park Pavilion, 157 Lucas Avenue in Kingston. The proceeds benefit the Dominic Parise Master Gardener Scholarship.
Here’s how the swap works: Plants to swap are dropped off Saturday morning between 9am and 10am. Swappers will receive vouchers for the value of the plants they drop off, and then return at 11am to swap vouchers for plants! At 11:30 a.m. the swap will open to the public for the plant sale. No early birds please.
To make this event a wonderful and rewarding experience for all, please review the following rules and information. Master Gardeners will refuse any plants not meeting the following criteria:
- Bring only healthy, well-cared for plants. No wilted or just dug plants will be accepted.
- Examine plants for pests and water regularly; feed them if necessary.
