FAQ
What IS another Plant Swap?
Another Plant Swap is an event where plant lovers come together with healthy, pest-free plants or cuttings they’re happy to swap.
​
During the event, people chat with other plant parents and agree on swaps together, exchanging plants they no longer want for new ones to take home.
​
Along the way, many people also make genuine connections, share knowledge, and form new friendships.

How Does Our Swap Work?
What Should I bring?
Swapper table
-
Healthy, pest-free plants or cuttings you’d like to swap
(We recommend around 10–15 cuttings, but you’re welcome to bring more.)
-
A bag or box to safely transport your plants to and from the swap
(You’ll need to carry them home with you.)

An open mind and a friendly attitude
What if no one wants my plants?
This is very unlikely. Swaps aren’t about value or rarity. They’re about interest.
If someone doesn’t have your plant yet, it can still be a great swap.
​
Any plants left at the end can go on the free table to find a new home.

What size plants and cuttings can I bring?
There are no strict plant size restrictions, but please remember you’ll need to carry your plants to and from the event.
Cuttings do not need to be rooted. They can be freshly cut or well-rooted, as long as they’re healthy and pest-free.
On the day, you can note whether your cuttings are rooted on the plant ID card, which we’ll provide.

Will I be able to buy plants?
Plants can only be swapped on the day.
At some events, we also host a small number of independent traders selling botanical-inspired goods (like pots, accessories, art, or plant care bits).
These are optional to browse and completely separate from the plant swap.
You’re also welcome to give plants away for free if you’d like
