Free Plant Swap Event Tomorrow

A reminder about Granton Goes Greener’s FREE PLANT SWAP event at Granton Parish Church, Edinburgh tomorrow evening (Friday 5 pm -7 pm).

It is our second plan swap organised in partnership with lovely Alexandra from Edinburgh and Lothians Regional Equality Council (ELREC)🌱🪴🌻

During the event, you do not necessarily have to bring a plant to swap if you do not have one. We are hoping that some people will bring more plants than they will take and we will have enough for everyone.

We encourage you to bring the following;

  • any plants ( outdoor and indoor),
  • -plant cuttings,
  • seeds
  • spare plant pots, etc.
