ELLSWORTH – Spring is on the way, and the Ellsworth Public Library Makerspace is celebrating with a community Plant Swap at 10 a.m. Wednesday, March 18. This popular event invites plant lovers of all experience levels to gather, share and grow together.

Now is an ideal time to begin propagating your houseplants so they’re ready for swapping in March. Whether you’re snipping cuttings, dividing mature plants, or experimenting with something new, preparing ahead gives your plants time to root and thrive. It’s also a great opportunity to expand your own collection by trading with others.

Participants are encouraged to bring healthy potted plants or cuttings to exchange. Houseplants, herbs, and flowering plants are all welcome. The swap offers a fun, affordable way to refresh your indoor greenery and discover new varieties.

New to propagation or curious about caring for unfamiliar plants? Makerspace resources will be available to help answer questions and provide guidance, ensuring you head home confident and ready to care for your new plants.

The Plant Swap is free to attend, though bringing plants or cuttings to trade is encouraged. Beyond the plants themselves, the event is a chance to connect with fellow gardeners, share tips, and enjoy a morning centered on creativity and growth.

For more information, contact the library at 715-273-3902 or visit www.ellsworthlibrary.org.

Bring your plants, your curiosity, and your green thumb — and join us for a lively spring tradition!
