It’s THAT time again!!! 🌱🪴 Celebrate fall with fresh cuttings, community spirit, and a brand-new setting for our annual GMIA Succulent Swap.
This year, GMIA is teaming up with the Friends of Casa de Oro Library to bring you a bigger, greener, and wonderfully informative morning. The Swap will be part of the inaugural Garden Expo at the Casa de Oro Library, and we could not be more excited to grow something new together.
• Saturday, October 24
• 10 AM to 1 PM
• Casa de Oro Library
o 9610 Campo Road
o Swap located outdoors at the library entrance
o Plenty of parking available in the main lot
As always, bring your best cuttings and trade with fellow plant lovers. Whether you are a seasoned propagator or someone who just enjoys a little pot of jade on the windowsill, the Swap is still the plant powered gathering you know and love.
Inside the Garden Expo, you’ll hear from Fire Chief Andy Lawlor of San Miguel Fire & Rescue and Michelle Landis, Environmental Planner with San Diego County Watershed Protection. Kids can settle in for story time in the shaded courtyard, and adults can explore booths from community organizations that help our neighborhood flourish.
While you are here, take a moment to enjoy the beautiful new library itself. The building is filled with natural light, welcoming spaces, and an array of public art both inside and out. It is a wonderful place to explore between swapping, learning and connecting.
Mark your calendars and get those cuttings ready. We are looking forward to seeing you at the library for a morning that will leaf you smiling.
