Swapping Plants - edibles, house plants, cuttings, succulents, herbs, seeds, etc.

I just started my newest swap project: The N. Oakland Plant Swap!

This will be a twice a year event for people to gather together and trade all their edible and inedible: unwanted plants, cuttings trimmings, seedlings, starts, foraged plants, and seeds.
This is also a great place to bring any extra pots, natural fertilizers, vermicompost/worms, garden tools, etc. you have and are no longer using. Pass them all on to a new home and come pick up some new-to-you plants for your garden and home.

I hope to see lots of edible plants, herbs, house plants, flowers & succulents. Bring it all!


Our first swap will be: Saturday May 7th 2-4pm

If you don't already have something like this in your area, consider starting it. It takes little effort and can be done just once or twice a year having a great impact in your community. This can be an amazing way to get all the plants you need/want for your home and garden completely for free!

  1. i love this idea and would love to try something like this in my neighborhood. my boyfriend and i just planted our first seeds in our apartment here in chicago, and we know a few other people who are into urban/rooftop farming. it'd be awesome to do something like that to bring everyone together.

  2. Love the over the back fence swap. We often have to ditch a bunch of Plants to make too make room for more cool stuff. We try to put out from for the taking and they always go. Matti
