Houseplant Swap

Calling all plant enthusiasts! Do you have indoor plants that you'd love to share? Bring rooted plants in dirt or loose cuttings to swap for something new (to you).

Plant lovers know that a touch of green indoors in the winter makes your home cozy. Join us for a drop-in houseplant swap to pick up an indoor plant, share plant cuttings of your own, or drop off a plant you no longer want. Start getting those plants ready and join us to trade plants with other plant enthusiasts. Want to trade an African violet for a prayer plant? How about swapping aloe vera for a cat friendly plant? You never know what you might discover!

How do I participate?

• Bring up to five healthy houseplants or cuttings to swap.
• Use a clean container that you are ok giving away.
• If possible, label plants with their name.
• Please bring your own bags and/or containers/boxes to carry your new plants home.
• Propagate some of your existing plants to share with others.
• You are encouraged to bring a healthy and pest-free plant or cutting to swap, but its' not required. We will have an S.O.S. table for those who like a challenge or a hidden gem!

How can I share cuttings?

• Wrap each cutting in a wet paper towel and place in a ziploc bag.

Looking to just donate?

• Drop off plant donations to the Downtown Library up two days in advance.

Have too many empty pots?

Don't know where to start?
