Any interest in a cutting swap community? Also, would love a hand or two!

Gauging interest post. Do any of you fabulous folk want to help start a cutting swap community? Always loved them on reddit. Half of my collection is from those fine folks! :)

Hmm, thatโ€™s pretty smart! I suppose shipping priority mail would have it stay wet for long enough, then?

Root cuttings can be safely mailed, it just takes a little set up. And a mindful eye on the weekly forecast

How does it work? Do the cuttings survive in the mail, or is it a local thing?

I've been lurking here to learn more lol

If it's a new community, could it include other types of exchanges? Seeds for example, I've seen some things like that locally with seed libraries and neighborhood groups

Cool! I'd love to see those here :)

For regional ones, you could make/promote them on the regional instances. This could also be great to promote on other fediverse platforms
