There should be something like a flea market where hobby gardeners go to share sprouted seeds

  My town and a lot of nearby towns have regular plant sales this time of year. Check for community gardening clubs. Unfortunately the only medium for planning/announcing these, that I’ve seen, is Facebook…so…yeah…

  Our local library has a table with young plants for exchange. I love it!

    What?! Dangit, I wish mine had that. Never heard of such a thing. We do at least have a county public garden, but I think it’s taboo to take cuttings. Only allowed to plant new stuff.

  That’s exactly what my local library is doing.

  I’ve seen people selling their cuttings on Nextdoor in the spring.

  Ooh, reading this post got me to search “seeds and cuttings exchange Santa Monica” and I discovered there’s a Seed Library in my area! “Sprouts” popped too many wrong results because it’s the name of an organic grocery store chain.

  Isn’t that a "farmers market "? We have them all over Wisconsin in the spring and summer.

    Our local farmers market unfortunately only really allows vendors and requires an application process - ie you can’t just hang out and trade seedlings and stuff with people without paying a booth fee so it’s really only for people doing it as a business.

      Not sure about all of the fees around here. But I get what you’re saying. There are a few smaller ones that work out of storage units. But again, monthly fees.

      I guess it kinda comes down to, where. Someone needs to sponsor or pay for a spot.

      Of course there’s a fee, running the thing isn’t 100% free. Probably about $20?

    Yesterday at our farmer’s market half of it was people with too many seedlings they were selling.

  I’m not into gardening much (no garden space). But I know most people exchange plant cuttings, sprouts and whatnot through online groups in several social media platforms

  In germany, we have places where you can share your plant seeds and such. They’re usually connected to other social institutions and leftist spaces.

    Gibt’s da irgendwo ein Forum ofer so?

      Linke gruppen sind sehr dezentral wegen der hohen repressionsgefahr. Du kannst mal nach “infoladen” gucken. Gibts eigentlich in jeder stadt. Auf dem land ist bisschen mehr suchen angesagt.

  Maybe my farmer’s market is really lax, but I’ve seen people sell young plants there (also mushroom starters, which I thought was super cool but had no room for).

  source

  • shalafi@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Not sure I’ve been to a farmer’s market where no one is selling young plants.

    I think OP is looking for a more informal meetup kinda deal.

  Every friday we have exactly this in our town center.

  We do this with my work colleagues.

  I’m not religious but most churches around my area have plant sales every year to raise money. It’s all just cuttings and seedlings.

  Here in Sweden we have “sticklingbytardagar”, “cutting trade days”, commonly arranged by enthusiasts in Facebook groups. Name a place and a time and people show up with their excess sprouts and cuttings to trade and give away.

    How did I not know about that. Maybe because I haven’t been on Facebook for over ten years.

    Wow that’s exactly what I had in mind. I gotta check if that’s already a thing here in Germany too 😅

      Spermüllverschenktag maybe. Everyone just leaves their unwanted furniture out o the same day and everyone prowls around picking stuff uo

    I’ve heard of several “Pflanzentauschtage” (“plant trade days”) here in Germany as well.

  There are community gardens. They would probably be the best address for something like this.
