PLANT SWAP RULES

Tier #1 The Main Swap

- When you register on the day, you'll be given a random number and for each plant you include in the main swap, you'll get one token.

- We'll put your plant on the main swap table, and we'll start calling out numbers - listen out for yours!

- When your number is called, it's time for you to spend your tokens! 1 token = 1 plant, just grab the plant you love and leave the token on the table.

We may even have some rare plants find their way on the table at random intervals, so keep your eyes peeled.

Tier #2 The Unicorn Swap

- If you've got a rare or special plant close to your heart that you'd like to negotiate a swap for, bring it along!

- You won't need a token for it when you register but we'll have a plant cloakroom you can use to store it until it's time to start trading. We've got some time set aside for these special plants to come out!

(VERY) Important Information (You snooze, you lose!)

For the interests of everyone attending, please try to ensure that plants brought to the event are free of damage, pests, diseases and so on.

Ticket holder must bring at least one cutting or plant with them to ensure that we have enough swappable plants on the day.

We will not be accepting many common plants (so keep your 23 cuttings of devils ivy away my friends!) to keep the event as diverse and fair as possible for everyone.

Please bear in mind that this is a community event for plant enthusiasts so try to bring something you think is of reasonable and similar value to other plants you intend on swapping with.

In extreme cases we will have to exercise our planty powers and adjudicate if certain plants are damaged, diseased, pest ridden or unsuitable for the event.

PS. We try not to discriminate (we love all plants!) but hang on to your garden succulents for another day.

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we live and work, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people of the Kulin Nations, and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. We honour the deep continuing connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples share with Country.
