Activate Allen County & the Bluffton Public Library are hosting Perennial Plant Swap on Thursday June 13, 2023 at 6 p.m. at the Bluffton Public Library (145 S. Main St. Bluffton, OH 45817).

What is a perennial plant swap? A plant swap is where people bring an outdoor perennial plant (in good condition) to exchange (swap) it for a new variety of outdoor perennial plant that someone else brought. Numbers will be assigned as participants arrive & everyone can go home with a new plant for their collection.
