Plant Swap FAQs

Who Can Participate? 
Anyone who wishes. We encourage you to bring at least one or two plant or garden items to swap or give away. You are not limited on the quantity of items that you bring, but all plants must be pest free. Admission is free, but we need a head count, so please sign up on (TICKET LINK ABOVE) to tell us if you are going to need a table or tables. 

Can I Sell Items, too?
 Yes, if you want to bring plants or gardening-related items to sell, you can, but we ask that you also bring some things to swap or give away. We welcome windchimes, compost, garden art, indoor, outdoor and vegetable plants, and free stuff. We will have a table for you to leave your unneeded pots, tools, even broken garden things. Someone may be able to use it and we do love going through these 'treasures.'

What Else Can I Bring? 
Seeds, plants, cuttings, starters, pots, garden tools, garden art, windchimes, soil, bags of compost, gardening books or brochures. Please pot your plants individually and wrap your cuttings individually. It will make it easier to trade them. Please include tags with information regarding the NAME of each plant, cutting or seed and if you wish, information on how to plant/care for them. People will need to know the names of what they are getting.

Who Will Be There? 
Other than you and many other garden-lovers like you, we hope the Northwest Louisiana Master Gardeners, Slow Food North Louisiana, several Facebook gardening groups, garden art crafters and others.

What Should You Bring?  
Your items to swap. A couple of cardboard boxes or a cart for the stuff you will swap and take. Tags telling what your plants are. Some actual real money in case you want to buy something. A big smile and neighborliness! It is always a HOOT!

P﻿ARKING is all around. There is on-street parking on Texas Avenue and Crockett, a small lot across from the Asian Garden at Milam and Common,  the lot adjacent to the Municipal Auditorium on Texas Avenue, the vacant lot at the corner of Crockett and Common. Remember that  all on-street metered parking is FREE on Saturdays/Sundays.
