6th Annual Santa Barbara Community Seed Swap

The event takes place on Jan. 28 at the Santa Barbara Community Arts Center (SBCAW) in downtown Santa Barbara, with both indoor and outdoor space, rain or shine.  

Hundreds attend this free event every year sharing seeds and knowledge with other backyard gardeners, plant lovers, beekeepers, farmers and more.  Come be a part of this seed saving movement, making sure locally adapted seeds & plants are passed on to future generations.  Free seeds offered to help gardeners get started.  Local groups will have seed & plant related exhibits.  

Live music, and kids activities throughout the day.  Tiny Café joins us with warm drinks & snacks, & fun “seedy art” free face painting by Kristen Sell. 

Once again we will honor a Local Food Hero, this year the award goes to Leslie Person Ryan of Sweet Wheel Summerland Farm.  Join us for an award ceremony at 1:30 pm.

• Bring seeds, plants, cuttings, and garden knowledge to swap.
• Don't have these? Then come get seeds. Seeds to sow, seeds to grow, seeds to harvest. Seeds to save and share next year.
• Activities for all ages.
• Music that will have your toes tapping.
• Plant and seed-related exhibits from local groups
• Special speakers throughout the day.
• A gathering of garden friends old and new.
