Do you need to thin out your houseplants and would like to share your babies? Do you want to acquire some new and possibly unique or hard to find plants? Do you have extra seeds and want to get some other varieties? Then you should come to this plant and seed swap! Start the new plants soon, so they will be ready for the swap. You can of course bring new cuttings, or newly potted plants. Everyone is welcome even if you don't have any plants or seeds to share.
If you are planning to attend the swap, here is a list of supplies that you could bring with you:
-your rooted plants, fresh cuttings, or newly potted plants and/or seeds
-paper towels & zip baggies - you can get the towel wet and wrap them around cuttings or bare root plants and secure them in the --zip baggies to protect them until you get home. There will be some available.
-a box, tote or thick bag for protecting your new plant in this chilly weather
-newspaper - lay it out to prevent your car from getting dirty when transporting plants
-pen/pencil and paper - for taking notes on plant care or jotting down names and phone numbers of the people you meet
It pays to show up early if you want to be able to trade for some of the rarer plants - these are usually first come first serve affairs. When bringing plants to trade, try not to water them immediately before the event. It makes the pots heavier and increases the chances of them leaking and making a mess in someone's car. Everyone values already rooted plants over fresh cuttings, it is a good idea to start rooting your cuttings a few weeks before the event. It is fine to bring them in plastic cups with water; you don't have to pot the plant.
