What to expect at Perennial Plant Exchange

  • a wide selection of perennials looking for new homes with tables for easy plant trades

  • expert gardeners sharing advice and expertise

  • a buzzing community of plant enthusiasts

  • refreshments and a door prize

Do you have overgrown perennials?

Bring divided plants, labeled if possible, and exchange them for something new. Do you have a lot of plants? No problem! Bring them and we'll find them a garden.

Don’t know how to divide perennials?

Check out Black Sheep Perennials’ guide to dividing plants in spring. (You’ll also learn which plants to avoid splitting!)

No plants to swap?

No problem! We gratefully accept donations to the Lethbridge & District Horticultural Society instead of perennials.

Have perennials to share but can't make the Exchange?

We’d be happy to take them off your hands! Please drop them off at Hilgersom Landscape Centre during business hours before May 8. We’ll help find your perennials a loving home.

Got weeds?

Please, make sure divided plants are weed-free before bringing them to the Exchange! Plenty of gardeners will be on-hand to catch unnoticed weeds.

Tables at the Perennial Plant exchange make it easy to check out available plants and swap perennials with ease
