The Plant Swap at Durham Beer Garden on July 11 is a community gathering where plant lovers can trade cuttings, buy from local vendors, and share gardening tips. For five dollars, you can bring your rooted cuttings, divided perennials, or extra houseplant pups to trade with other attendees. The event runs from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM at the North Mangum Street venue, which features both indoor and outdoor seating. If you are bringing children, the casual outdoor garden setup is easy to navigate, and you can purchase food from the on-site food truck during the swap. This is a low-pressure weekend outing for parents who want to refresh their windowsill gardens without spending a fortune. It is a simple way to teach kids about plant propagation while supporting local growers and enjoying a relaxed afternoon outside.
