Calling all plant lovers! We're having a community plant swap at Galena Park Branch Library!
This is a free event. Selling of plants/cuttings/seedlings is prohibited.
To ensure there is enough space, please do not bring more than 10 plants/cuttings/propagations or seedlings.
Bring unwanted plants, pots, seeds, or other gardening items to swap with other plant enthusiasts.
Registration is encouraged, but not required to attend. If you are on the waitlist, you are still welcome to come!
Guidelines:
Bring an indoor or outdoor plant in a pot you are willing to part with. Pots, seeds, and other plant care items are also great for swapping.
Please make sure all of your plants are pest- and disease-free.
Avoid bringing invasive species.
Label your plants with their names.
Swap Guidelines:
Swapping is informal. There will be several tables set up for everyone to place their plants on as they arrive. Everyone will get a chance to browse for a few minutes, then you’ll be able to pick out some plants.
Please wait until the end of the event to take extra items.
If you bring plants that you just want to give away and not swap, please put them in the area designated for that to avoid confusion.
Please be polite and make sure to give everyone space to set their items down before picking plants and do not start picking plants before the swap begins.
Plant Swap Etiquette:
Do offer trades that are comparable in desirability
Don't take anything from anyone's station without their consent
Do stay respectful and kind with your fellow swappers
Don't get pushy or offended when someone says no to a swap
Do get away from your station every now and then to build relationships with your local plant community
Don't feel bad if someone you traded with re-swaps your plant with someone else
You're invited to join us to trade seeds, plant cuttings, propagations, and plants
