Car boot sale and Plant Swap — Lacapelle-Cabanac

Car boot sale and plant swap in Lacapelle-Cabanac, an original Quercy formula

The Comité des Fêtes of Lacapelle-Cabanac has devised an original formula by combining its traditional car boot sale with a plant swap. This annual event, held in the village center, allows participants to clear out their attics while exchanging cuttings, bulbs, seeds, and plants among passionate gardeners. A delightful combination that attracts a diverse audience.

The plant swap, a friendly and ecological practice

The plant swap is a friendly and ecological practice that appeals to more and more gardening enthusiasts. In Lacapelle-Cabanac, the Comité des Fêtes has made it a central element of its annual event. Amateur gardeners and botany enthusiasts bring their surplus produce: perennial cuttings, bulbs to multiply, vegetable plants, harvested seeds, and garden shrubs are exchanged hand-to-hand, enriching gardens throughout the region.

The car boot sale, €2 per linear meter

Alongside the plant swap, the car boot sale welcomes private exhibitors wishing to part with their items. The price of €2 per linear meter is deliberately accessible to encourage participation.
