A few good garden habits.

A little care keeps this a kind, useful place for everyone.

Always free. Always garden-related.

Plants, shrubs, trees, pots, tools and other reusable garden things are welcome. Please don’t ask for payment, deposits or delivery fees. No general household goods, animals, pesticides, controlled substances or hazardous materials.

Share plants responsibly

Only offer plants you own and are allowed to give away. Check the identity of plants before sharing them. Don’t list invasive, prohibited, illegally collected or diseased plants. Describe any toxicity or other known hazards clearly, particularly for children and pets.

Listings are for England, Scotland and Wales only, with local collection arranged by members and no deliveries or charges. Northern Ireland is not supported. Rules vary between the supported nations. Check the official invasive plant guidance for England and Wales and NatureScot. If you’re not sure a plant can be shared, leave it out.

Sharing Safely – A Little Friendly Advice has practical suggestions for garden visits, collection and digging up plants.

Keep collection comfortable

Use your town or area in public listings, not your full address. Share precise details privately only when you feel ready. Collect in daylight, consider taking someone with you, and let someone know where you’re going. Never share passwords or banking details.

Adults only, kindness always

You must be 18 or over to register or use Plant It On. Under-18s are not permitted. Be honest about condition and size. Be considerate about collection times, and let the other person know if plans change.

If you believe a member is under 18, use “Report or block” in your conversation, or contact us. The operator can restrict access while reviewing the concern. Do not confront them or collect identity documents yourself.

Something feels wrong?

Use “Report this listing” on the listing page, or visit Contact & reporting. In a conversation, use “Report or block” to report a message or member and prevent new contact. Reports and complaints can also be emailed without an account. Reporting doesn’t remove a listing automatically. If there’s immediate danger, contact the appropriate emergency service.
