The Plant Exchange is a nonprofit environmental organization that has served Oakland and the Bay Area for over 15 years. Our mission is to promote sustainable gardening practices, reduce landfill waste, educate people about environmental justice, and bring our community together over a common love of gardening. We seek to unite people of all ages and backgrounds and promote the personal health and community benefits that gardening provides.
Hello Autumn and Greetings Plant Lovers!!
|
What a wonderful time to be a gardener, and there is no better time to redouble our efforts to garden sustainably, conserve water, and STOP PUTTING UNNECESSARY WASTE INTO LANDFILLS!! Good thing we are all here to help make this happen.
We will be having our next Adopt a Plant fundraiser on Saturday, Nov 13th 2021. WE ARE LAUNCHING OUR NEW WEBSITE ON 10/14/21. Please check back shortly for updated links to sign up for the next plant sale. If you have any immediate questions, please call 510-866-8482. Priority access will be given to those who reserve a time slot. Drop-ins, while not prohibited, may be briefly held at the entrance to allow for continued social distancing. We request that everyone continue to wear a mask out of an abundance of caution. If you would like to see photos of our inventory click here. Remember we take cash, Venmo or credit cards. Can’t make this date? Just write us at connect@theplantexchange.com and we will work something out for another day. |
