seed and plant swap (Business Card (US)) (2).png

Celebrate the start of the 2025 growing season at a seed and plant swap! Swaps are a great way to reduce waste and cost while connecting with other local growers. New grower with nothing to swap? No problem! There will be plenty of seeds, plants, and knowledge to share – just bring yourself and your curiosity.

​

We invite you bring anything from the following categories: seeds, perennials, houseplants, and miscellaneous (tools, pots, books, etc). Please label all seeds, plants, and cuttings. Both saved seed and excess bought seed may be shared. Plants should be healthy and pest-free. We encourage you to bring a bag or box to carry your finds home in, though we will have some available at the swap.

 

This is a free-for-all “potluck” style event, not a one-for-one swap. Unless you’re feeling very generous, please leave your rare tropical plants and other high-value items at home, as we cannot guarantee that you’ll find something of equal value in return.

 

When you arrive, we’ll help you distribute what you’ve brought to the correct area(s). Then comes the fun part - browsing through what’s already there and taking what you’d like! Please respect the honor system. You’re welcome to take home more items than you’ve brought (especially if you’re a new gardener!), but please take only what you plan to grow and leave the rest for others.

​

In addition to the swap, the event will include the opportunity to "Ask a Master Gardener", as well as a hands-on activity for children.

 

Come share your bounty and go home with some fun new things to grow this season!
