Ipswich Plant Swap is an informal community group that has a vision of greening Ipswich through the sharing of plants with one another. We encourage and advocate for the sharing of native and food plants, but allow for the sharing of plants that are not considered a threat to the natural environment. The concept is that you bring plant cuttings and potted plants (considering your fire-ant zone) that you have and swap them with plants you are seeking from other members who have done the same. If you have no plants to share, don't worry, there are always freebies and we will always welcome you with a smile and friendly conversation. We meet at the Leichhardt One Mile Community Centre (in the community garden that shares the fence line with 19 Denman Street) at 1-17 Denman Street, Leichhardt on the third Saturday of each month at 9.30am until 1pm. Everyone is welcome, there are no membership fees and we don't sell. We will however offer sausage sizzles, soft drinks and tea and coffee for a small fee to fundraise for the Leichhardt Community Centre. We are currently in the process of co-designing the former Community Garden with the entire Ipswich Community so it can be a place that the whole community can connect with. The community garden will be a place for healing, learning, connecting and strengthening community.
