Hi my name is Pam. I wanted to share a testimonial about my experience with plant selling/swapping and Blossm. I have been selling/swapping plants for about two years now. I have tried Etsy, fb marketplace, Craigslist, offerup, Mercari, you name it, I've tried it. None of these organizations are solely for plant based items. A minority of these apps are for plant lovers like myself. My biggest struggle I've experienced thus far is that these apps/organizations don't have having a plant community that is loving and fosters excitement regarding plants. The ones I mentioned before are very transactional and honestly not very helpful. With Blossm I've noticed that there is an active community that cares about its plants, meeting other plant lovers, and also making sure these plants go to a caring home. I have been looking for an app that satisfies my needs in regards to having a warm community to share my plants and thoughts with, is user friendly, and can be location based (I prefer selling/swapping in person). Blossm meets and exceeds my personal needs and I can tell the app was thought out with the plant lover in mind like having options for trading, seedlings, ornamental plants, etc. These reasons are why I not only enjoy using Blossm but I can spend hours getting lost in the excitement and experience of looking at these plants!User: pampampam

This is a great app for keeping an eye out for those wish list plants as well as selling/giving away your own. You can create a wish list and have the app notify you each time those plants are posted. You’re able to set up trades as well. The app makes things easier by (if you choose) storing your shipping address, a phone number, an email, keeping a record of your offers & payments, and storing a form of payment for you. Though I’m not sure why they have the option to store a formOf payment since they recommend always using PayPal. It also has a map feature so you can see plants for sell/trade, being given away, and being requested near you. The app has a feature to look up a plant and see a quick list of plant care - light needs, soil type, water needs, etc, though that feature isn’t detailed at all so not super helpful if you’re not an experienced plant person. There’s of course a way to rate sellers and buyers and give feedback so you can be more confident

This review is long overdue. I really love Blossm. Firstly, it’s become more addicting for me than social media (which is probably a good thing haha). Also, I’ve learned a ton about plant care and verity from the in-app tips and the community board. And while the app’s community board is an inspiring, helpful and encouraging feature, I’ve been unexpectedly impressed by how Blossm has deepened my connection to the community I live in. I’ve met tons of people around my town just from plant swapping. Okay, the tech part of the review: From a usability standpoint, I’ve had no issues whatsoever. It’s got a familiar interface to other apps, without the doomscroll feeling. They make updates regularly to further refine it, but I’ve never experienced any frustrations that come to mind… no sudden freezing or exiting. It’s a great app to connect you with plants and your local community.

🍃I love this app! There are so many people within the community to connect with. I just began to get heavy into gardening and growing plants within the last year and I had no idea that there was such a vast community of people all around me awaiting to connect and share their love of plants. Not just buying and selling (which of course are perks) but also the actions of trading and sharing plants with one another is truly a blessing. I received my first plant from the creator of the app, Brian! He’s such a beautiful soul and his profile on the app is Amazing! Please use this app to connect with others and share your love of plants. It’s a beautiful tool and I wish I had downloaded this app sooner but I can’t wait to see how many more people and plants I meet! 😆🤍
