It’s a small online community where hobby gardeners track their plants and share seedlings with each other. Think of it as a garden journal plus a friendly bulletin board for the gardeners around you.

Anyone who grows plants for fun — from a balcony of pots to a backyard full of trays. Some folks just use the journal; others share extras with their neighbors. Both are welcome.

Yes. Veggie Exchange is free to use. No ads, no upsells, no third-party tracking.

Visit their profile or a farm page and tap the Follow button. Their posts and plant updates start showing up in your feed.

Create a farm in the dashboard, add the plants you’re growing, and list which ones you have extras of. Other gardeners can follow you and arrange to pick them up.

No. We strip the EXIF metadata (including GPS coordinates) from every photo when it’s uploaded. Your phone may warn you that the original includes location, but the image we store and display does not.

When creating a post, scan the plant’s QR code (mobile) or pick it from your list (web). The plant appears as a tag pill on the post; anyone can tap it to see the plant’s history.

Go to Account Settings and use the Delete Account section. This removes your profile, posts, and personal plant records from Veggie Exchange.

Not yet. The iOS app is in App Store review and Android is not on the near-term roadmap. The website works well on Android phones in the meantime.
