Plantes troc

Last year I learnt about the ‘plantes troc’, and this year I’m back.

It’s a sort of ‘bring and buy’ sale, where you bring plants you’ve taken out of your garden—maybe they’ve spread and you don’t need them all—and you take some of the plants that other people have brought with them.

I hadn’t organised myself enough to bring any plants this year, because I haven’t been as active in the garden splitting them off, but they didnt mind at all, they had more than enough. The morning is all very convivial, with everyone trying to share a bit of knowledge about their gardens, and share their plants, it’s all quite lovely.

It’s such a great little event, I really need to organise myself more for next year.

Along with the plants I bought in Bergère, I now have a lot of work to do planting them all. I know Brian will be helping, I just need to tell him where they are all going.
