Calling all garden enthusiasts, green thumbs, and nature lovers!

Get ready to dig into a day of growth, sharing, and community spirit at our upcoming Community Seed Swap Event. Embark on a journey of biodiversity as we come together to exchange seeds, stories, and gardening tips. Bring your favorite seeds, whether they’re heirlooms, rare finds, prepackaged, or simply your garden favorites, and swap them with fellow plant enthusiasts. Discover new varieties and connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for cultivating life from the soil.

*The rules for the swapping of heirloom seeds can be as follows:

1. Must label seed packs with information on the variety, year collected, and collected by whom.

2. Each pack must contain at least 10 seeds.

3. Brief planting and care instructions.
