The Oakland Plant Exchange documentary is coming!

​The Plant Exchange is a place where gardeners, landscapers, urban farmers and others meet to exchange plants, information, tools and equipment.  All of it for free. This twice-a-year event brings people from all over the San Francisco Bay Area and builds community involvement through volunteering, donating items, attending, and sharing information and ideas. What began as a small group of neighbors trading their excess plants has grown  into a large event with hundreds of people participating each time.

We are creating a  documentary to tell the story of how it developed and to present a “how-to” guide so other communities can do the same. We want to show how you can use a plant exchange in your neighborhood to build community. And we need your financial support.  Our goal is to raise the funds we need to produce and distribute this documentary.  Here are all the details
