Here's the list of community swaps this spring - send us details of your event if you're not on our list.
Seed swaps are great way to share seeds, knowledge and resources to get people growing locally. They also provide a solution to the increasing control of the seed supply by a handful of large companies. See our resources page for more advice on setting up a seed swap.
