Have extra seeds, sprouts, cuttings and plants that you won’t use in your yard or garden? Want to save your extra fruits and vegetables from the garbage can? Bring them to the Makerplace to share with neighbors and fellow gardeners.

Library staff will be on hand to help you sort and facilitate swaps and a Master Gardener from the University of Illinois Extension will be on hand to answer gardening questions.

Stop by anytime between 10 a.m. and noon to drop or to see what’s available for swapping.

Mark your calendars! Swaps will take place the fourth Sunday of each month, April through September, so you can drop off, pick up and trade seeds, plants, flowers, and vegetable harvests all season long.

Swaps will be outside weather-permitting. In the case of inclement weather, we'll be swapping in the Makerplace Kitchen.

We strive to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals, including individuals with disabilities, to engage fully. To request an accommodation, please call 847.392.0100, text 847.665.1491 or email us at accessibility@ahml.info
