Trabue Russell House a great place for gardeners

By Linda Waggener

Saturday, September 19, 2020 was a perfect day for the Plant Swap event at Columbia's historic Trabue Russell House.

A plant swap or plant exchange is for all people who love to garden. It is an opportunity for gardeners to get together to swap plants and gardening stories. It is a fun time.

This time of the year flower gardens are being cleaned up and many plants need to be thinned out.



The Trabue Russell House is located on Jamestown Street across from Elm Drive. For more information about the gardens, or to tour the house, call the City of Columbia at 270-384-2501.
