Granton Goes Greener: Free Plant Share Event

THURSDAY 15th MAY from 5 – 7pm

We are very excited to be hosting another FREE PLANT SHARE event at Granton Parish Church, Edinburgh🪴🌻🌵

This time, we will be working with some experienced gardeners from our local Salvation Army North, who are going to share some plants and plant cutting from their garden 💚💚💚.

We already have some plant pots and are looking for donations of both indoor and outdoor plants, plant cuttings and seeds.

And remember, you do not need to bring a plant to swap on the day, we hope to have some variety on offer for everyone needing some for their houses or gardens.

Any questions-email: anna@grantongoesgreener.org.uk
