Plant Swap
Plant Swap is the University’s virtual give-and-take scheme for unwanted plants and garden equipment. It’s free of charge and used by University staff, students, head gardeners, grounds managers, the Botanic Garden and anyone in the University or college who is interested in getting plants and equipment for free.
Reusing plants and garden equipment saves money from not having to buy new items and reduces waste to landfill.
Plant Swap is sent out by email to everyone on the Plant Swap mailing list, at the beginning of each month.
