National Seed Swap Day
All budding gardeners out there, who enjoy growing new plants, will enjoy National Seed Swap Day. Although people have been swapping seeds since time began, nowadays people usually buy seeds and the old skill of swapping seeds is disappearing from our culture.
HOW TO OBSERVE SEED SWAP DAY
Exchange seeds with friends, attend a local seed swap, or help organize one.
Post your events online so they are easily found using #SeedSwapDay
Experienced gardeners offer seed collection, labeling, and preservation tips.
Generate interest in your seed swaps. Plan urban gardens or community gardens. Not only do they improve the look of your community but they also provide nutritious food, too.
Offer classes for starting seeds indoors and successful transplanting.
Be sure to include children. They love to garden!
Attend local events and show your support by volunteering.
Share your seed swap events and use #SeedSwapDay to post on social media.
