Our name says it all
The Floragora app name is a combination of ‘flora’ and ‘agora’.
‘Flora’ means the plants of a particular habitat. And ‘agora’ means gathering place, such as the marketplace in ancient Greece.
This is exactly what Floragora is: a place to meet and learn about plants – as well as a place to trade them.

“After I got a summer cottage, I found out that a good platform to swap and trade flowers didn’t exist. That’s how the idea for Floragora came about.”

What kinds of plants can be exchanged?
Flowers and other plants in any shape or size can be exchanged on Floragora:
- Seeds
- Bulbs and bare roots
- Fully grown plants
Whether you’d like a few extra tulip bulbs, need a lot of golden creeping jenny to create groundcover on a wider area or you just have too many agapanthus, many other garden lovers will have the opposite need. Floragora is the place to meet them and arrange an exchange!
How do I swap my plants with others’?
- Create a member profile
- Add a post for your plant
- Find a flower or plant you’d like and press: ‘I’m interested in swapping’
Then sit back and await the response from the other member. If he or she accepts your swap request, you can sort out the details of your swap in a private chat, such as whether you prefer to meet up or to ship the flowers to one another.
Does it cost anything to trade plants?
All members can trade plants for free. In some cases you might choose to sell a few of your excess flowers so that you can earn some extra cash to buy exactly that plant in the local nursery your garden is missing.
- Free swapping
- Free selling
Does Floragora mediate in my trades?
All trades (swap, sell, buy and giveaway) are directly between you and the other members of the Floragora community. This gives you all the flexibility you need. However, it also means that you shouldn’t engage in any exchanges if you are not sure you have agreed on clear terms for your exchange. This is the only way to avoid misunderstandings and frustrations, and we all prefer to avoid those.
How do I know what other people want?
On each member profile you can see the wish list of the other member. If you see iris, geranium or lady’s mantle then the this particular member would like to receive irises, geraniums or lady’s mantles in exchange for his peony.
Do I need to know plant names to trade using Floragora?
We have a AI plant identifier that will allow you to identify the plants you would like to trade before you post your sell or swap ad.
