Spring Mill State Park will host its annual heirloom plant and seed exchange on Sunday, May 13, from 1 to 3 p.m.
Visitors can bring heirloom plants or seeds from their gardens to the Pioneer Village garden and trade them for starts grown by the park’s village gardener.
An heirloom plant is a plant variety that has been cultivated at least 50 years, is opened pollinated, and seeds from the plant produce the original plant variety.
If you have a lot of plants to trade, call ahead and the park can set a table up for you.
If you don’t have anything to trade, the village gardener also will have plants from the formal garden for sale at the Pioneer Village Mercantile.
