2025 Invasive Plant Swap
Do you have invasive plants in your landscaping? Tippecanoe County Soil and Water Conservation District is hosting an Invasive Plant Swap on September 25th from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Tippecanoe County Fairgrounds Show Arena.
This free event offers an opportunity for community members to bring in invasive landscaping plants and exchange them for native species that support pollinators and local ecosystems. While the event flyer highlights five common invasive plants (burning bush, callery pear, Japanese barberry, wintercreeper and periwinkle) residents are welcome to bring any invasive plant used in landscaping. If you're not sure whether your plant qualifies, feel free to reach out in advance or bring it with you for identification.
Native plants will be available while supplies last. Early arrival is recommended.
Replacing invasives with native plants is a great way to support local wildlife, improve soil and water quality, and help restore ecological balance. The deadline to apply is August 1, 2025.
For further information and the application, visit the event page on the Tippecanoe County SWCD website. View the flyer for the event below.
