Are you interested in herbal medicine? Would you like to learn more? Do you want to learn how to grow and use medicinal plants? Would you like to garden in connection with others? 

Neighborhood Roots Food Collective is sowing the seeds for the creation of a People’s Medicine Garden in Guilford. Come join us for a groundbreaking meeting as we collectively imagine a garden of beauty and usefulness that will become a lasting resource for our community. 

At this meeting we will:

•     Discuss the goals and uses for a people’s medicine garden

•     Brainstorm medicinal plants that we’d like to grow

•     Plan early action steps

Let us know that you're coming, if you can. This meeting is free & open to all!

Celebrate spring at the annual spring Community Plant Swap. We'll exchange our extra seeds, plant starts, houseplants, and perennial divisions as we get ready for the new gardening season. Don’t have anything to swap? That’s OK! There’ll be plenty of plants for everyone.

Please arrive on time! We can not control the exuberance of gardeners swapping plants. In past years, people began swapping right away and late comers missed out on some of the fun.

No registration required for this free community event.

Jumping Worm Notice: Please be aware of potential jumping worms in your soil & don’t bring any plants with soil that comes from an area with jumping worms. If you bring perennials from a garden that has jumping worms, wash off all the soil beforehand and make potential plant swappers aware of the risk. Seedlings started in store-bought potting soil are a safe alternative.
