PLANT & CUTTING SWAP:
Think of it like a Little Free Library for plants and cuttings; Bring a plant, take a plant! Expand your houseplant family with a free plant or cutting from someone else's collection.
Take a clean cutting from your healthy, pest-free plant, or bring a whole plant you're ready to part with
Place cuttings in a ziploc bag and label them with their botanical name (if known), or their common name if not
Bring your plants and cuttings to the swap table and pickup goodies to take home with you!
