Troc aux Plantes des Fourmis Vertes, Albas

The Plant Swap of Les Fourmis Vertes Albassiennes

In the village of Albas (46140), Les Fourmis Vertes Albassiennes have launched a new and anticipated event: the Plant Swap. This initiative, driven by the local association, brings together amateur gardeners and nature enthusiasts from Quercy and the surrounding areas for a great exchange of plants, seeds, and botanical knowledge.

A Day of Plant Exchange and Sharing

The principle of the plant swap is simple and generous: everyone brings their surplus plants, harvested seeds, successful cuttings, tools that are no longer needed, or gardening books, and leaves with new varieties gathered from other gardeners. The event thus promotes the biodiversity of local gardens, the transmission of traditional horticultural knowledge, and exchanges between neighbors passionate about plants.

The event also welcomes the participation of local producers and associations such as Jardins d'Occirient and Troc Lot, who enrich the range of plants and varieties offered for exchange.

A Rich Program for All Ages

The day is not limited to a simple plant exchange. A botanical workshop for children is organized in the mid-afternoon, allowing the youngest to discover the world of plants in a fun and educational way. In the late afternoon, a conference completes the program for adults wishing to deepen their knowledge of botany, permaculture, or natural gardening.

Albas and its Green Ants

The association Les Fourmis Vertes Albassiennes is active in the life of the village and works to promote local events and develop ecological and social initiatives. This plant swap is fully in line with this approach, highlighting the link between the inhabitants, their territory, and living things.
