What:  OSE Plant Swap & Art Raffle  

When: Saturday, April 12th, 9-11:30 am

Where: The Chattaway, 358 22nd Ave S., St. Petersburg, FL

Did you lose trees or landscape plants during Hurricanes Helene or Milton? This event is a great opportunity to help each other recover and celebrate our love for plants!

• Swap & Share: Bring healthy plants, cuttings, extra tools, pots, or yard supplies to trade or donate. (Please, no invasive plants—see the list here)
• Artist Raffle: Featuring artwork from our talented Old Southeast artists. Attendees will have the opportunity to enter the raffle for a chance to win unique pieces of art.  The proceeds from raffle ticket sales will benefit and support our local artists as we prepare for the October Artist Enclave Tour, an annual tradition celebrating creativity within our neighborhood. The artist raffle at the plant swap is a cherished tradition, marking the beginning of the planting season and generating crucial funds to support artist marketing efforts leading up to the enclave tour.  Cash and credit cards accepted!
• Sales: Purchase a few potted plants to support OSNA. Cash and credit cards accepted!
• Expert Advice: Plant enthusiasts will be available to answer your gardening questions.
• Coffee & Snacks: Enjoy treats from The Chattaway as we gather to green up our neighborhood.
