Area gardeners, rejoice! The St. Marys Community Public Library has joined with Heritage Trails Park District to update the annual Garden Swap and Share, and it’s even better than before. To start things off we are giving away Gardening Goody Bags from Monday, April 26, to Saturday, May 8, featuring an assortment of fun and useful items for our gardening friends, while they last.
Our Garden Swap and Share is taking place during library hours from Monday, May 10, to Saturday, May 22. An cart will be available outside the front doors of the library during library hours for plant divisions and seedlings. Bring a plant; take a plant! This is a great way to get new items for your yard and garden as well as to thin out spreading plants you no longer want.
The highlight of gardening month at the library is our Zoom presentation on Tuesday, May 11. From 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. Christopher Kline of Butterfly Ridge Conservation Center will speak with us about Butterfly Gardening with Native Perennials. Please email us at stmaryshelp@seolibraries.org for an access code to this wonderful program.
