Herb Exchange
A blog for plant and herb lovers to connect and exchange plants and herbs via mail.
I have four-leaf clovers. (Also five leaf clovers.) LOTS of them. I have almost nothing else, so if you want them, message me with what you’d like to trade and I’m probably game.

Right now I don’t have much to offer as I just starting using herbs more often. I have some star-anise and Queen Anne’s Lace I can share but this is more so I remember to post here again when I have more to share.
If anyone wants to share some wormwood, mugwort, yarrow or balm of gilead they are welcome to, but like I said I just wanted to make sure I remember this place!

I’m looking for datura, belladonna, or foxglove.
I have a TON of lemon balm and quite a few other goodies I can wildcraft and will update soon with those.
Hello all, corsen.tumblr.com here.
If anyone needs honey locust thorns, Solomon’s seal, Joe Pye weed, or red maple or white pine (hurricane-felled), I can supply.
(I live on 11 acres of New England mixed woods and swamp, so if you’re looking for something else from the region I can probably scare some up.)
If anyone has mugwort (or seeds) or cattail seeds/fluff, I’d be happy to take it off your hands.
Thanks!
Just letting you know I posted a disclaimer and updated FAQ to reflect some of the questions asked. If you think of anything I didn’t think of, drop me an ask.
As for the disclaimer. Anyone versed in legalese and wants to make it better, drop me an ask.
What I’m looking for: mugwort seeds and lavender seeds. I’ll take lavender in any form, actually.
What I’m willing to trade: I’ve got Japanese weeping cherry blossom wood, hydrangea, and can wildcraft mullein by the armload.

For some of us, it’s really frustrating when you want something to grow and it just won’t grow. Or you’ll looking fora specific seed and you don’t want to $20 per a seed.
This is to help alleviate that burden.
How Do I Join In?
Submit. Post your blog url, what plants, herbs, flowers, etc that you’re looking for, if any, and what you have to trade, if anything.
Example:
samplewitchyblog submits this and the admins post it:
samplewitchyblog: Oh hey guiz I’m samplewitchyblog! I’m looking for lavender and I have a whole ton of mullein to trade. Can anyone help?
witchfromnarnia reblogs this with: You have mullein? I have some cuttings some a willow tree….
samplewitchyblog reblogs that post with this: Willow! I’ve been wanting willow cuttings for my wand for the longest time! Awesome! I’ll send you an ask!
You get the idea.
Someone has something you want? Reblog it to make sure they have it and then send them an ask or fanmail to confirm and trade addresses.
Who Can Participate?
Anyone. I suspect a lot of us will be practitioners of witchcraft as that the sphere of tumblr where this blog originated.
What Can We Exchange?
DO NOT exchange endangered plants.
DO NOT exchange plants that your country, state/county/district, or city disallows import and/or possession.
Simply put, don’t exchange illegal things.
It is up to YOU to know what you can import, possess, and grow in your country.
Where Do I Get These Plants?
Anywhere? Grow it yourself or wildcraft it from where-ever. Just don’t do anything illegal.
Can I Exchange Poisonous Plants?
Is it legal in your country/state/city to posses these plants? To trade them? For the person getting it to possess the plant or import it? If yes then go for it. If not then don’t.
Can’t I Just Exchange Illegal Plants Without Herb Exchange’s Knowledge?
Yes. The way this works is you make the final arrangements outside of this blog. We, herbexchange.tumblr.com, are not responsible for what you exchange.
Do I Have to Pay?
For shipping certainly. Whether you pay to ship the box or they pay for the shipping is up to you all to work out.
Uh, I Have to Give Someone My Address?
Yes. You could send it to a work address. Or if you want, you can rent a mailbox at the post office.
DO NOT POST YOURS OR ANYONE ELSE’S ADDRESSES IN ANY POST, EVER.
Is This International?
I don’t see why not so long as you aren’t importing/exporting anything illegal as defined by your country’s laws and regulations.
Who Started This? Who Are the Admins?
We are looking for more admins.
I’m Still Confused.
I’m not sure how else I can explain this…
Think of this like a dating site.
We’re introducing you to other plant lovers. You scroll through the submissions and when you find that perfect submission, you reblog it with a nice offer. If everything works out then you tap that submitter’s ask box like tumblr’s going out of style and make arrangements on how and when to exchange the plants.
Legalese. herbexchange.tumblr.com is not responsible in any way, shape, or form during what may occur during outside of this blog.
Hello everyone. Trying to get this thing off the ground.
If anyone has any ideas on how to make this run more smoothly, let me know.
Otherwise? Check out the FAQ.
As said above, I’m trying to make this herb exchange run. I’ve noticed a lot of us are…
WAIT! Everyone hold on. I’m going to delete the sub-blog and make it’s own damn tumblr. New link to follow.
Here’s the new link (which is the same as the last) herbexchange.tumblr.com
