a big THANK YOU to everyone who came out Saturday (despite the rain) for the annual Ft. Wright Garden Club Plant Swap and Sale! Everyone had a great time and found lots of plants for their own gardens. It's always fun helping new gardeners pick first plants and see experienced gardeners find some great tried and true performing plants. More pics to come!

Reminder that you DO NOT have to bring plants to participate! This event is the only fundraiser for the Ft. Wright Garden Club each year and a great way to find reliable plants that are growing in our gardens!

Thanks to everyone who joined us for the 2025 Ft Wright Garden Club Plant Swap and Sale! We had more plants then ever and a huge crowd!

This is our only fundraiser of the year and we use those funds to beautiful the public gardens of Ft. Wright. We donate trees, shrubs, annuals, and perennials to make our city even more beautiful.

Each year, these irises bloom right when it's time for the Plant Swap and Sale. Deceased member, Clarence Lassiter, provided these irises to the city gardens and they stand as a reminder of the power and beauty a simple plant can have.

Join us this Saturday for our annual Plant Swap and Sale and find the perfect plant for your own garden! See our event for more information. Hope to see everyone there!
