In the past three years, the Pennyroyal Master Gardener Association has held a spring and fall plant swap at the Hopkins County Farmers Market.  The purpose of the plant swap was to give the community an opportunity to come swap plants with one another.  Participants brought plants they were willing to give away and then could pick from plants donated by other participants to take home.  A wide range of plants were brought to the swap and included the following: herbaceous perennials, annuals, trees and shrubs, herbs, vegetables, bulbs, seeds, and houseplants.  Master Gardener volunteers were present at the plant swap and assisted people with any questions they had about the care and maintenance of the plants.  65 people participated in the spring plant swap, which is an increase of 34% from the fall plant swap.  A survey was completed by the participants, and 96% of the participants indicated that they were happy with the selection of plants.  80% of the participants indicated that they had learned more about the different kinds of plants as a result of attending the plant swap.  100% of the participants said that they are or maybe interested in attending future plant swaps.
