How does it work?
Each swapper brings offerings of plants and plant-related items.
Upon arrival, each swapper pulls a number at random out of a jar to determine her/his place in line.
During the first hour, swappers arrive, view what is available, and generally nerd out on plant talk.
At 2p, swappers will one at a time choose their first item, going in numberical order from 1 - 15*.
The second round goes backward in numerical order, 15 - 1.
A third round will go forward again, and on until all items are claimed.
*this number based on number of participants
