II would love seed exchange

[Hippocrates_Garden]

Everyone has their own preference, I’d love a seed swap, have gone to a few, organized one the year before the (Cough Cough) came, and hope to have a 2nd annual one in my current area in Fed.

I prefer in-person swaps, getting to meet people, seeing faces, talking, and hopefully making new friends and allies.

In the community garden I ran for 3 years, (with minimal participation) and in my efforts to evangelize gardening, I tried to really harp on the fact, that growing is only one step, it must be harvested and either stored (preserved) or in any account prepared and plated.

All the seeds and plants and animals mean little, if people don’t know how to prepare it to eat.

I’ve been beating this drum for a while in beta testing. I am hoping when the marketplace rolls out, it would contain that functionality. I also asked for a hardiness zone forum, so that more landrace seeds are traded, as well as a music forum. The anthem here could be Lukas Nelson’s song, Turn Off the News and Build a Garden. It is worth a listen. We are on the right track!

seed swapping on a small scale like this could work very well especially for those new to gardening as it will not overwhelm them

this may work best for varieties they/we may not otherwise try as they may not want to buy full packs of seeds
