Plant Swap

Come bring a plant, or several, to swap and trade with other plant enthusiasts!

Presented in partnership with Plant Swap Pop-Up.

How It Works 
Swaps are the perfect opportunity for novice and experienced plant enthusiasts to meet, learn something new about plants, and become plant friends. The bonus is you walk away with new house plants!

• Participants bring a plant or several plants and/or seeds they wish to share with other plant hobbyists, lovers, and enthusiasts.
• Please bring the plants in a pot or bag.     
• The plants may be whole plants that did not flourish in one environment but may love the space of another caregiver. 
• Participants also may bring propagated plants. Propagation is the act of creating a new plant from an existing one. There are three ways to propagate a plant: dividing (separating an already growing plant), rooting a leaf (typically done with succulents), or rooting a cutting (a small stem with leaves). 
• Label plants or seeds as best you can with any information about the plant (name, sun/shade, size, etc.) 
• Plant collectors label and place their plants or seeds on the tables. 
• Mingle.     
• Share and learn through stories, experiences, and methods from local plant lovers. 
• Swap. 

If interested, please also bring canned food to donate to the Township of Schaumburg's Food Pantry.
