While Odette retired from running the organization full-time, The Plant Exchange still advises and mentors those interested in hosting plant exchanges in their own communities.
The Plant Exchange also hosts occasional pop-up sales with a focus on inanimate objects (e.g. pots, garden decor and furniture, etc.) to continue our mission of keeping items out of the landfill while offering affordable deals to our supporters. WE STILL ACCEPT DONATIONS OF POTS.
The Plant Exchange team would like to give a HUGE thank you to everyone who helped and supported us at our sales, events, and programs, especially our amazing volunteers. We could not have thrived without you.
– ODETTE POLLAR, FOUNDER

We've gotten lots of questions during this process and want to answer a few of them.
Why did The Plant Exchange close?
Odette, our Founder and Director, is retiring after 15 years of service. Given the operational logistics of the organization in its large facility, the best option was to fully close the Golf Links Road location.
What happens to The Plant Exchange now that you have moved from the warehouse?
Let's Keep Planting! Do you know of a community group or nonprofit looking to expand their programs? Or maybe a social enterprise or company looking to add a nonprofit arm? We're looking for creative ways to keep The Plant Exchange concept going and welcome your ideas and referrals.
Why did it Odette retire? Is she ill?
No! She’s just ready to retire, relax, travel, and enjoy time with her community.
