Welcome to the Capital Region of NY Gardener's Exchange!
In this group you'll meet LOCAL gardeners from the counties of Albany, Columbia, Greene, Rensselaer, Schenectady and Saratoga in upstate New York.

Gardener's Exchange members have two things in common - love for the Earth and incurable optimism!

Regardless of experience, each member has something valuable to offer. Many are generous to a fault when sharing plants, advice and expertise... others share their time and other artistic skills with fellow plant lovers.

Come to a swap and you'll meet weekend gardeners, Master Gardeners, Community Garden organizers, Garden Club members, professional horticulturists and gardeners of many varied interests. Go home with new friends, new plants, great ideas!

Do you need somewhere to garden or have garden space to share?
Do you have time to be a garden 'mentor'? Don't be shy...offer your expertise!
