Hester's Houseplant Prop & Swap:
A lesson in plant propagation and a baby plant swap!
Date: June 7, 2025
Time: 10:00am - 12:30pm
Learn how simple it is to propagate various houseplants! From spider plants, to snake plants, string of hearts, African violets, pothos, hoya plants, succulents and more – you’ll go home with a whole variety of starter plants and plenty of inspiration. It's a potluck of plants!
Bring your own houseplants or garden plants (or propagatable parts) to share for the plant swap. If interested, participants are also encouraged to bring a decorative pot for the pot swap, and seeds for a seed swap!
Plant Door Prizes! We will also be awarding free potted plants from our visiting vendors. Plus, several teapot planters (charming vintage teapots turned flowerpots!)
*Explore our Free Station to pick out snippets of plants to practice your propagation skills. Learn about houseplant propagation.
*Visit our propagation stations and learn about featured plants. -Last year we featured roses, bromeliads, fig trees and hydrangeas. This year we will feature rosemary, Annmarie’s Glen Dale azaleas, blueberry bushes and more!
*Ask questions and learn from our wonderful volunteers.
*Shop at our vendors with plants for purchase:

Don't have a lot to share? That's ok we have extra. There are other ways you can share (leftover seeds, decorative pots, fun thrifted vessels that a plant can be planted in or propagated in etc.) Please also bring your own snippers and gloves.
This is rain or shine event - activities will be in covered outdoor area in the event of rain!
**If you have a rootbound plant and would like for us to use it as a demonstration, please email Hester at naturalist@annmariegarden.org. Your plant may be chosen and divided, and you can take home or share extras as desired.
