I created this QR code for my plant exchange. If you would like to start a plant exchange in your community, you will need to get the word out about your group. I have chosen a variety of ways to get the word out since I am not sure who will be a part of my group. I may have elderly people who do not have smart phones. I have have a person that only uses their home phone of basic cell phone for communication and does not have an email address. Plant people generally like to be outside and not attached to their cell phone or computer.
I have created a sign up sheet for people to add their name address and their location so I can get an idea of where most of the people that are interested are located. I may want to use a church, scout hut, or local community center or park for my events.
I have also created a group page on my facebook account to keep people up to date with my upcoming events.
I have also created flyers to hand out during city events to get people interested in the exchange.
For my plant exchange, I am offering the community a way to swap plants and ideas for free. They can bring some plants and take someone else's plants in exchange. They can hear ideas about how to grow the plants, where and when these plants grow. Ideas and information from local growers is very helpful to the community.
I am excited to offer this fun event to my local area. I am hoping for a good turnout and interest in my group.
