advice for starting a seed swap event

Posted: 11/05/2013 at 18:09

Hi cotty, only started seed swopping this year, mainly on here, but I did go to one locally and that was in March. It was a very relaxed swop so much so that I forgot to take any seeds, and just gave a donation for any seeds that I wanted.

The one I went to was advertised in our "green book", maybe check with the council and other groups to see what's out there already or as a way to advertise.

Think the hardy plant society has a yearly one which might be useful for information.

Good luck with yours, I've really enjoyed all the swopping I've done so far

Wet and dull day here, will be out to doing a little more charity shopping later and may be potting on a couple of things.

Have a good day everyone

No gardening here, but a lovely day trailing around the charity shops and picked up a lot of books at 50p each or 3 for a £1. Hardbacks included

I always have a look at the rescue corner Rosie, there's a lot bargains to be found

Does anyone else..........

Garden spending is so much more fun chicky. 

I could easily make room for another. Are you just starting new compost in each  or are you moving it between the bins?

garden before we started our garden design 3 years ago..

Matty, got our first proper compost out of Monty (thats what it's called here) last year and it's been put to use on our first veg beds. On seeing gardengirls picture I begin to think that maybe/definately have space of another one.

That will keep you busy chicky, I bought offers like in the past and they are tiny
