Return of Sheffield Plant Swap!

On 13th March, Sheffield Plant Swap returned to the park for the 3rd time. The group has hosted events around the city for a number of years but we were all particularly excited about this one as it was the first in over two years.

We set up on the stone tables by the sandpit, there were over a hundred people with around 500 plants - these ranged from garden shrubs, fruit and veg, unusual houseplants, a cactus named Spike and an aloe being rehomed due to a naughty habit of jumping in the bath.

Participants were a mix of familiar faces and first timers; some local residents and allotment plot holders, others had travelled from other parts of the city giving us a chance to show off the park to a new audience.

The Friends of Manor Fields Park are hoping to welcome Sheffield Plant Swap back to the park later in the year, in the meantime you can find out about more events by following:
