Calling all creative green (or greenish) thumbs! Join us for a wholesome swap event where makers, crafters, and plant lovers come together to trade seeds, seedlings, and soil—because every great project (and garden!) starts with the right foundation. 🌿 Bring: Extra seeds, baby plants, nutrient-rich soil, or compost to share. 🌼 Take: New botanical treasures and inspiration for your next handmade adventure. 🪴 Meet: Like-minded creators who love to grow—both plants and ideas! Let’s nurture creativity and community, one sprout at a time! As always, there will be time for snacks, socialization, and project sharing. 🌱💛

Whether you're working on something wild and wonderful, or still brainstorming your next big idea, this is the perfect space to show it off or bounce ideas around. We want to see what you’ve been up to, hear your stories, and get inspired by each other’s creativity. Snacks provided; feel free to bring a favorite to share if inspired.
