Urban Roots Spring Plant Swap: May 15, 10 AM–1 PM

Plant swaps are part of Urban Roots' DNA—starting in 2005 before we even opened our Rhode Island garden center. They built the network that made Urban Roots possible, and we're proud to continue the tradition.

How It Works

Thin established perennial clumps or share plants spreading beyond their space
Pot or bag divisions (reuse plastic bags if you lack pots)
Label clearly with plant info; we can help with identification
Bring extras to UR— they'll find good homes
Browse offerings to fill gaps in your garden
All plants free—no need to bring something to take something

Saturday, May 15, 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
