The Detroit-based Rare Plant Fairy is internationally known.

Unsurprisingly, with everyone stuck inside, houseplants gained immense popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic, and enthusiasts can talk all day about their hobby. They’ll be joining each other at Plant Swap & Social for an afternoon of swapping and buying plants at 215 West in Ferndale on Saturday. There will be food from the pop-up Noodl, music from DJ Xing, and more than 20 plant vendors. They’ll be selling everything from rare aroids to common houseplants, and a space will even be set up for trades. Also from 1-5 p.m. on Saturday, the Detroit-based Rare Plant Fairy is participating in two events. One is an open house at its nursery at 1111 Bellevue St. in Detroit. The Rare Plant Fairy is also one of the vendors at a block party at the Red Hook Greenway in 2761 E. Jefferson Ave. in Detroit.

From 1-5 p.m., on Saturday, July 22 at 215 West; 215 W. Nine Mile Rd., Detroit; cover is $5. More information is available on the event’s Facebook page.
