The concept of From One Garden to Another (FOGA) is similar to that of a plant swap where the plants are not in fancy containers or in perfect shape, but they are perfect to take a chance on! Gently-used, non-plant items such as garden tools, decorative pots and lawn furniture make this eco-friendly “recycling” booth even better.

Have items to donate? Here are a few guidelines:

• Pot Your Plants
  Please have all donated plants potted, well-watered and ready for sale. Plants may be potted in heavy paper cups, milk jugs, soda bottles or similar containers. We also accept un-potted bulbs in bags.
• Label Your Plants
  Label your plants using masking tape or a popsicle stick indicating the plant’s name, color, size and growing requirements (dry, wet, sunny, shade) if possible. If you are unsure of the plant name, let us know if you grow it in sun or shade.
• Items NOT Accepted
  We are unable to accept any pesticides or chemicals.
