Rooted In Broward Plant Swap – Sunday, August 24th at Laser Wolf
Rooted In Broward Plant Swap is back this Sunday, August 25th from 2–close at Laser Wolf in Fort Lauderdale (901 Progresso Dr, Ste 101, Fort Lauderdale). Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just starting your plant journey, the swap is all about sharing the love of plants, meeting new friends, and supporting local vendors who keep our community rooted and growing.
It's not just a swap — it’s a whole plant-filled party with vendors, great food, cold drinks, a DJ, and an awesome raffle. Here’s everything you need to know:
August Featured Vendors
This month’s August Plant Swap is packed with an amazing lineup of vendors offering rare plants, handmade art, ceramics, and more:
How the Plant Swap Works
The plant swap is open to everyone—just bring established cuttings, rooted plants, or planty-related treasures to share and swap. Here are the basic rules so everyone has a great time:
It’s totally free and open to everyone! Bring rooted plants, cuttings, pots, tools, or planty decor to trade.
Swap from the designated tables on the patio.
Only items on the clearly marked FREE TABLE are available for take or trade—don’t grab anyone else’s plants without asking.
No sales allowed (only official vendors can sell) — violators will be asked to leave and banned.
Not swapping? Perfect! You can still hang out, shop vendor booths, eat, drink, and be part of the vibe.
Please be kind — introduce yourself, ask questions, and always get consent before trading.
No pushy or bullying behavior—this is a community space with good vibes only.
Photos and videos will be taken for promotion; attending means you consent to being filmed
