ROOTED IN BROWARD

We are a FREE community- based plant swap event for gardeners and plant lovers held once a season: Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall.

Rooted in Broward is comprised of 4 founding organizers: Alexander Florence, Grecia Florence, Kathy Scott and Pabla Ayala. We recently celebrated our one year anniversary Sept. 18th, 2022.

All plant lovers are welcome. We have aroid collectors, hoya heads, fruit and veg farmers, houseplant lovers and rare plant cultivators. There’s something for everyone from beginners to master gardeners!

Every event features raffles or auctions. Raffles start at $2 and more rare and expensive auctions and raffles are priced accordingly. Beverages and snacks are always available for purchase. You can purchase as many items as you’d like. All sales proceeds are reinvested into future events (nonprofit). We support our local plant community and take donations and make purchases for every event from local gardeners. Other than our sanctioned and approved sales NO SALES OF ANY KIND ARE PERMITTED.

What do you need to participate? Rooted or established plants to swap or any gardening-related items like pots, planters, tools and art! We provide tables and tents, but if you have one bring it.

DISCLAIMER: PHOTOS AND VIDEOS WILL BE TAKEN DURING THIS PUBLIC EVENT. BY ATTENDING THIS EVENT YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND CONSENT TO HAVING YOUR PHOTO/VIDEO TAKEN.  IF YOU OBJECT TO THIS , THIS IS NOT THE EVENT FOR YOU.

Our swap's #1 goal is to make in-person plant-loving connections and friendships. Don’t be shy! Introduce yourself, ask questions and initiate trades. Keep in mind consent between all parties is key. If you do not feel comfortable making a trade with someone that is your prerogative, but ALWAYS be kind and try to be generous. If someone doesn't want to make a trade with you don't take it personally, that is ok. PUSHY or BULLYING behavior will not be tolerated. If you cannot follow these rules you will be asked to leave the swap and will not be invited back.
