July Houseplant Swap at Cornell Farm

8212 Southwest Barnes Road,Portland OR 97225

24 July, 2022

Description

You've been asking us to put on another Houseplant Swap for plant parents across our community, so we've added one to the calendar for July! Any and all indoor plants are welcome, from common finds to coveted collector varieties, but please keep in mind that this is an event about exchanging plants and knowledge, not cash. All plants should be labeled, healthy, and pest-free! In general, cuttings should be rooted, but if you have fresh cuttings to share from easy-to-root plants, these could be acceptable offerings for the free table (more info below). Be sure to bring cuttings in containers that you don't care to get back — recycled mason jars, plastic cups, and baggies work great! This is a free event. Tickets are not required; however, we ask that you please register so we have an idea of how many people to expect. Thank you! In light of the state of Oregon lifting its mask mandate on March 12, at this time, masks are optional. ---------- When? Sunday, July 24, from 4:00pm - 5:00pm Where? Meet in our Garden Pavilion behind the yellow farmhouse Cafe. How does it work? Negotiation Tables: If you want to negotiate the trade for a specific plant, place it on a negotiation table. Stay close so people can make offers and talk to you about it until you are both happy with the trade or gift.Free Tables: If you want to give plants or cuttings away freely, put them on a free table for anyone to pick up!No sales. This event aims to celebrate the spirit of generosity between plant enthusiasts. Please don't offer to buy or sell. We encourage trading and giving!What if I don't have anything to trade? Bring your questions! We all have to start somewhere, and you might just go home with a plant or cutting in addition to your new knowledge.
