BK Cobble Hill Plant Swap

The Sill is thrilled to be hosting a Plant Swap at our Cobble Hill location. We hope to see you there!

Plants parents have spoken: this past year, greenery helped us get by. And with the holiday season right around the corner, now is the perfect time to grow your collection and jumpstart a friend’s. A plant is a universal gift anyone can enjoy. Plant swaps are a proven way to reconnect with nature and each other, and we’re thrilled to tap into this tradition by facilitating a plant swap in New York, a city our team calls home, while giving back to the community in the process.

NY Plant Swaps are supported by NY Forever, a non-profit organization devoted to championing New York City and bringing the city back to life. Read more about the NY Forever pledge below.

Tickets

The swap has timed entry tickets. Capacity is limited. Choose between the following slots: 4-5 PM, 5-6 PM, 6-7 PM.

All ticket sales ($15 pp) will be donated to The Fresh Air Fund. Their mission is to offer life-changing summer experiences for children from New York City’s underserved communities. If you are unable to attend the Plant Swap but would like to support The Fresh Air Fund, you can do so here.

Swapping 101

A plant swap is when fellow plant enthusiasts, from beginners to experts, come together to swap or trade a healthy plant or cutting for another attendee’s healthy plant or cutting. It is a fun way to expand your plant collection, share the wealth of any plants you picked up during the pandemic, and meet local plant parents.

Swap attendees will connect with fellow swappers one-on-one to trade, depending on what plant or cutting they are interested in. We recommend labeling your plant and including care instructions to set its new plant parent up for success!

In addition to your plant(s), you can bring pots and planters you’d like to swap, for a new look and feel.
