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. 

• 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.
