Creative way to shop for clothes, houseplants

This northern pitcher plant, seen here on Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2024, is native to north east Illinois and is one of the 100 different species of houseplant found at Verdant Sol in downtown McHenry.

Adults will be able to trade in lightly used clothing and swap houseplants during a monthly sustainability swap at the DeKalb Public Library.

Participants will be able to bring freshly washed adult-sized clothing. The clothes can be dropped off at the reference desk. Attendees will receive up to 20 tickets for every clothing piece brought in. The tickets can be used to buy clothes.

Houseplants of all kinds will be welcomed. Participants should bring pots they are willing to part with. Tickets will not be required for houseplants. No registration is required.
