Mamaroneck Hosts Plant and Seed Swap at Repair Cafe

MAMARONECK, NY (September 24, 2025) — The Town of Mamaroneck Repair Cafe is set to host a Plant and Seed Swap on Sunday, October 26, from 12 noon to 4:00 p.m. at the Mamaroneck Senior Center, located at 1288 Boston Post Road.

The event encourages attendees to bring native plants from their gardens and indoor plant cuttings from home to share. “Take plants home! (Even if you didn’t bring any!)” the event announcement states. Participants are asked to label all plants with common or botanical names and keep them moist with soil.

The swap will feature natives for pollinators and butterflies, as well as house plants and garden plants. The Repair Cafe, a neighborhood initiative hosted by the Town of Mamaroneck, allows residents to bring items to be fixed on the spot for free by volunteer repairers. “Are you a fixer? Put your skills to good use by volunteering! Email us at: MLRepairCafe@gmail.com,” the event details note.

Additionally, a guide on seed sharing highlights it as “the most economical way to propagate our beautiful and incredibly important native plant species.” The guide includes images and labels of seeds at various stages: “Too soon,” “Just right,” and “Too late,” offering visual cues for optimal seed collection.
