Autumn is a great time to hatch plans for your 2025 community seed swap. You also still have time to get your event listed in the Heritage Seed Library Brochure, if you have your date set by the 13th October.
Here's the list of community swaps that typically run - send us details of your event if you're not on our list or want to update the details.
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.
