Green thumb fans are encouraged to engage in the plant exchange, orchestrated by the Cayman Creative Gardening Club at Gardenia Court, Camana Bay on Sunday, 26 June at 1pm.
Participants are asked to be aware of the rules ahead of time:
- Everyone must have at least one plant or seed packet to trade
- All exchanged items must be labelled with the type of plant and care instructions
- Exchanged plants must be pest-free and healthy
- Use individual pots – this doesn’t mean you have to give away precious plant pots – yoghurt pots, tins and takeaway cups all recycle well as temporary containers
- Prepare unrooted cuttings or cuttings in water – prepare cuttings by bringing these wrapped in damp kitchen towel and a plastic bag or container. This helps people get them home without damaging them.
- You can bring pots, tools, seeds and anything else plant-related that you think another plant lover could re-home
- You can turn up at any time during the swap, but to have the full amount of choice, make sure you arrive at the beginning
- Put your plants out on the tables provided. They will provide name tags for yourself and for your table so they know which table belongs to who.
- No exchanging before the start of the event
- Spread the plant love. So, feel free to browse and take several plants home, but please only take what you can look after.
- The admins will be asking people who are leaving if they are happy to be photographed with their plant. They post plants and people pictures from all their exchanges on Instagram and on Facebook.
