We’re excited to host a swap in Alameda for the first time this fall! With just a short walk from the Alameda Ferry Terminal, get ready for the last swap of the year at Ploughshares Nursery.? Register here: https://seedandsoulclub.ticketleap.com/alameda-fall-2022-swap/t/FB/
? To encourage more variety of plants, we’re continuing the Collector Bidding System. What is a collector plant - you might ask? We’re defining it as: a species that is either hard to find, of high monetary value, not readily available in the local current plant market, or any combination of the aforementioned. Unsure if there will be enough collector swappers to offer uncommon plants? Follow the event page and we’ll update the number of collector swappers who will be attending!
??♀️ There will now be limits on duplicate species - you can have up to 3 max of the same plant to offer.
Can’t wait to meet/see you soon!
This is an in-person event hosted outdoors at Ploughshare.
