Corpus Christi's beloved Plant Exchange is a casual, community-driven gathering where green-thumbed locals and curious newcomers swap cuttings, seeds, and potted plants. The idea is beautifully simple: bring something from your own collection and leave with something you've never grown before. It's the kind of low-key neighborhood event that reminds you how generous a coastal community can be.
It makes for an easy, unhurried day trip from Port Aransas — and when you make the thirty-minute drive back to Beached Inn, the salt air rolling in off the Gulf has a way of making everything feel exactly right again.
