It’s a day where gardeners of all ages and experiences can come together and swap the seeds from their best plants, which is great for improving the biodiversity, in the local area.</span><br />

Tell others about your favorites and learn about new and interesting varieties. Find some heirlooms and rare finds too. Everyone could bring something to share, even something made from their own produce?!</span><br />

What can gardeners do in the dead of winter when the ground is frozen and plants are dormant? Get ready for planting next spring’s garden, of course! A good way to get started is to join the Northern Shenandoah Valley Master Gardener Association at the Blandy Seed Exchange. There is no cost to participate in the event.</div>

Imagine the annual seed swap as an old fashioned Facebook
for seeds. Seed swaps serve so many purposes; not only are they fun, they
are a way to meet other gardeners, farmers and seed savers, brush up on new
techniques, ask questions, and of course GET NEW SEEDS for your collection.
Double bonus for breaking up the winter blues that afflict those of us who love
working with the dirt.<o:p></o:p></div>

It’s like a potluck, but with seeds. Bring one variety of
good-quality, fresh seeds to share (<a href="http://blog.seedsavers.org/blog/open-pollinated-heirloom-and-hybrid-seeds">heirloom
seeds</a> if possible). You can find heirloom seeds at your local nursery. Go
home with many varieties of seeds. The seeds will be shared with as many as 40
people so bring enough that everyone can get some. Two Will County Master
Gardeners will be on hand to answer your gardening questions. This fun and
casual event will include drinks. We will provide envelopes for the seeds you
will take home. For more information call 815-534-6173 or visit the Adult

grower if known. We are passionate about educating and hope that more people
would participate in the learning opportunities we provide.<o:p></o:p></div>

Chaparral Auditorium 414 E. Ojai Ave., Ojai, California 93023<br />
Bring stories, seeds, cuttings, or starts to share, and join in a
tradition as old as agriculture itself. There will be seeds and plants
available for sale, too. $5 suggested donation at the door. This 5th Annual Event is open to all – seed savers and
seed planters alike. Generally, most seeds are freely offered by
hobbyists and professionals, although there are some sales/donation
requests for certain potted plants and starts, and some commercially
packaged seed. For this event, there is a $5 donation request at the
door to support the sponsors. Seed swaps are an uncanny kind of potlatch that we don’t see a lot of these days, especially for general public events. While one could easily score a hundred dollars
worth of free seed, the knowledge of what to do with those seeds is also
freely shared by many experienced gardeners and farmers there, which
probably is an of incalculably higher value — it is an especially rich
community in that way.<br />

the agenda for this year's seed swap will also be an introductory class
on new forms of veggie/fruit gardening. 2016 is the year of succession
planting and a discussion of moving to and managing a
succession-planting garden will be part of the day's events. If you are
ready for Spring, bring your self, seeds, and enthusiasm and let’s swap!
No matter what the weather on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_124231632" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Jan 30</span></span>, we will be having this seed swap.
So put it in 4-low and see you there! For more information, contact Pete Kuhns, <a href="mailto:pkuhns@gmail.com" target="_blank">pkuhns@gmail.com</a>.<br />

The
first reason is thriftiness. No need for anything in your garden to go to
waste. Compost, recycle, and re-use. The second reason is frugality. </div>
Why buy
new plants every year when you can grow your own for free? Even further, why
buy unproven plants or seeds when you know the ones you are collecting from did
well and obviously flourished in your yard.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another reason to collect seeds is to ensure the propagation
of heirloom varieties and rare, native plants that are not available through
other means. Commercial growers and catalogs will often only carry the most
popular plants and seeds. By collecting seeds from particular flowers and
edibles, you are safe-guarding the future of these species. You are
guaranteeing we will have a wide variety of genetic diversity in our future and
not just the current “top growers.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The final reason to collect seeds is to trade them. You may
have 100s of Cleome seeds and another gardener has 100s of Poppy seeds. Why not
trade a few hundred with each other? Again, you are getting new plants for free
or close to it. Seed trading is a whole world unto itself. There are online
groups, pen pal lists, and clubs for seed swapping. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Seed collecting is easy.</b> Just wait until the end of the
growing season when your current flowers form seedpods. Check on them every few
days. They are ready when the pods are dry, brittle, and just ready to open.
Don’t wait too late or they’ll break open on their own and cast their seeds to
the wind. Pick a day with little breeze and no rain. Go out in mid-morning,
after the sun has dried out the air and dewdrops from the leaves. Take a piece
of paper and put it under the seed heads then shake them gently. Be sure the
seeds are thoroughly dry before you put them in tightly closed jars or
zipper-closed baggies. Label them right away and store them in a cool, dark,
and dry place.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That last step is the most important. Label them with the
date and variety. Be specific as possible. Next spring you’ll be very glad you
did – as many seeds look alike. The date is important as you will want to use
up your seeds the next growing season or two. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A side note on seed collecting: not all plants can be
propagated from seed. Many plants that you buy are hybrids or sterile. If you
have hybrid flowers and vegetables, they may produce seeds. However, the seeds
will often not produce offspring that is “true” to the parent plants. In other
words, the seeds from hybrids are often a different variety than the plant you
originally purchased and they are often inferior in quality. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A simple way to get started is to collect seeds from your
common annual flowers that open-pollinate: zinnias, marigolds, forget-me-nots,
four-o-clocks, cosmos, cleome, and sunflowers. Then, as your gardening skills
grow, move on to perennials and biennials.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So take a few minutes this harvest season to collect those
plant seeds and you’ll be all set next spring for a bountiful crop of new
blooms.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">~ Be sure to register ASAP for the swap you want to attend. Space may be limited and some swaps fill fast. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">~ You can bring unused seeds from purchased packs or seeds you
gathered from your own garden. <b>Carefully
pack and label your seeds as best you can</b>. The more information you can
provide, the better.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">~ Each seed pack should have a "useable" amount of seed. Use your best judgement. For some plants, like zinnias you might include 20-30 seeds per packet and for others, like tomatoes, you would only need to put in 10 or seeds in a pack. If in doubt, err on the generous side as you can always break up a pack amongst swappers later. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">~ Did you know you can make your own seed packs? Get great free
downloadable templates are here: <a href="http://tipnut.com/seed-packets/"><b>http://tipnut.com/seed-packets/</b></a></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
<br />
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">~ Please do NOT bring
large quantities of seed in one bag. Seed swap organizers and volunteers are over-whelmed at the
check-in tables already. Please
break them up into smaller quantity packs ahead of time or we will not be able
to put them out.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">~ The definition of "seeds" is usually very broad so yes, you can bring
bulbs, tubers, corms, acorns, etc. to the swap. They should be bagged and labeled
just like smaller seeds.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">~ Older seeds are fine as long as they were stored properly, if
you can test for viability that would be great. Here is how to<a href="http://www.southernexposure.com/how-to-test-germination-ezp-162.html"> test for seed viability</a>. (The exceptions are lettuce,
onions, and impatiens seeds, which should all be less than a year old.)</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">~ Store seeds for swapping in a dark, </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">cool (not freezing) </span></span>spot away from <i>any</i> moisture. Glass jars are the ideal storage vehicle. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
<br />
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">~ Make a list of your seed “wants” in advance. It is easy to get caught up in the excitement
of the day and forget the basics that you came for or the rarities that you had
been seeking.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">~ Bring extra note paper and a pen/pencil as you will learn so much from others' at the swap and want to take lots of notes.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">~
Bring extra seed bags and labels in case you want to swap directly with
someone and need to break up a packet to share with them. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">~ Most seed swaps will have generic blank name tags -- but we ask participants to be
creative and make their own tags or if you have your own name tag
from work or another event, by all means bring it. (Some swaps will do prizes for
the
most creative name tags :-). We are trying
to make these event green and eco-friendly. </span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
~ If the seed swap gives out goody bags, when you get your bag at
check-in, please make sure to label it with your name -- all the bags will likely
look alike and can get easily mixed up. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">~ Bringing a few sheets of those
personalized address labels you get with charity mailings will come in
handy for this and for labeling your seed packets, giving out your
contact information to fellow gardeners, etc.</span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
~ If you are
bringing seed catalogs for a give-away table, be sure to rip off the
address labels and tear out any order insert with your personal
information on it. Some swaps also welcome gardening books and magazines for swapping, so feel free to bring those too.</span></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
~ Most swaps screen incoming seeds and reject any GMO seeds and do not accept
any seeds from invasive plants listings. See the listing at: <a href="http://www.nps.gov/plants/alien/pubs/midatlantic/toc.htm" title="http://www.nps.gov/plants/alien/pubs/midatlantic/toc.htm">http://www.nps.gov/plants/alien/pubs/midatlantic/toc.htm</a> for a start, your region's invasives list may vary. Check with your location state extension office, if in doubt about a plant's invasive status.</span></span>

Whether just among your neighbors, your garden club/plant society, or your wider community, a seed swap can be a terrific way to get lots of seeds, to meet new friends, and to learn a great deal about what grows best in our area.<br />
<br />
When setting up a seed swap, pick a date well in advance so that you can give participants several weeks notice. Mid-winter is the perfect season for hosting plant seed events so folks who like to start seeds indoors have enough time before the growing season.<br />
<br />
Next you’ll need a location. A big, open space with lots of table surfaces works well. You want some place that can get messy and will allow you to spread out the selections. Tip: contact your local public garden for space and to partner with them.<br />
<br />
Send out the invitations and ask all of your participants to carefully label all their seeds. Ask for volunteers to help you set up and clean up as this is definitely not a one-person job.<br />
<br />
Gather your supplies. You’ll want to have extra labels and baggies on-hand. Name tags are also a good ice-breaker. Extra pens/pencils and paper are a must. Once people get talking, there will be lots of note-taking. <br />
<br />
Asking attendees to bring some food to share potluck-style will get people munching and talking either before or after your swap. If you add food to your event, you will need to also bring a table to serve it on, napkins, cups, plates, etc. Keep the food/beverages in a separate area from the seeds so there is no danger of anything spilling on them!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHWLAgVYRByEfP4mRYg9mTvgU0PQl6EgokVTxLbc1YsVSrrd1m9yPWMTri57sqyv95Zd_hRVM5rnI6xRIgT9NvWnU8lfqEUEhaumjomIS_fS_6IMe0yTNnpN5DpHKQuWRVK0oC_HpvwQ7E/s1600/1-2012g+013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHWLAgVYRByEfP4mRYg9mTvgU0PQl6EgokVTxLbc1YsVSrrd1m9yPWMTri57sqyv95Zd_hRVM5rnI6xRIgT9NvWnU8lfqEUEhaumjomIS_fS_6IMe0yTNnpN5DpHKQuWRVK0oC_HpvwQ7E/s1600/1-2012g+013.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
On the day of the event, have your volunteers sort the seeds as they arrive into your pre-assigned categories. Make signs for each table with the category names. (It is a good idea to screen for GMO seeds and seeds from invasive plants as they come in.)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
During the sorting and check-in period, have an expert speaker (or two or three) talk about seed-starting and garden-related topics. <br />
<br />
At the designated swap start time, ask each participant to come forward and briefly describe the seeds they brought to swap and a bit about their care. You may want to assign a timer to keep folks under a set limit as many fellow garden nerds can get carried away with their enthusiasm. This is where a whistle can come in handy as well.<br />

Once everyone has introduced their seeds, you will need to devise a fair way to assign who chooses first. Many groups give first choice to volunteers who helped coordinate and set-up the event. Other groups do it by order of arrival, by oldest to youngest, or by whim. The most common method is to pass around a basket with numbered slips of paper. Participants pick one out and that is their order of seed selection. Since most people bring several packets of seed to swap, there will be several rounds of seed selection by participants. Once the pickings start to get slim, you can announce a "free-for-all" where all-together folks can grab up any of the remaining seeds.<br />
<br />
If there are still leftover seeds, they can be donated to a local school or nonprofit gardens. Be sure to check in advance that these donations are welcome and will be planted in a timely manner.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Bonus Swap Features: </b></u><br />
<br />
At the <a href="http://www.washingtongardener.com/">Washington Gardener Magazine</a> Seed Exchanges in DC/MD/VA, they add the following fun, green features which you may want to consider at your seed swap:<br />
<br />
~ <b>Prizes for the most creative name tags :-)</b>. Attendees are asked to make a name tag or recycle one from another event. <br />
<br />
~ <b>Goody Bags and Door Prizes</b> are given out. Donations for the bags and prizes are solicited from garden-related businesses. Sponsoring businesses are listed on signage and all event promotions. The goody bags are stuffed prior to the swap day.<br />
<br />
~ <b>Garden Catalog/Book/Information Tables</b>. A section of tables is set aside for garden materials that are free for the taking. Attendees are encouraged to bring in seed catalogs, garden books and magazines, flyers for other area garden events, public garden brochures, etc. Attendees are asked be sure to rip off the address labels and tear out any order
insert with personal information on any seed/garden catalogs they bring in.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Update</u></b>:<br />
Our friends at Southern Exposure Seed Exchange have shared their own "how to host a seed swap" instructions <a href="http://www.southernexposure.com/how-to-host-a-seed-swap-ezp-146.html">here</a>. There are many ways to structure a swap and we hope to see you at one soon!<br />

seed swap is a fundamental part of human history. Seeds were one of the
first commodities valued and traded. Today, modern gardeners collect
and exchange seeds for many reasons ranging from cultivating rare,
heirloom varieties to basic thrift. The exchange of seeds perpetuates
biodiversity. It is an act of giving and the ultimate form of recycling.<br />
<br />
The first annual
<a href="http://www.washingtongardener.com/"><i>Washington Gardene</i></a>r Magazine Seed Exchange was held in Washington, DC, on January 26, 2006. Kathy Jentz, the editor/publisher of the magazine had the last Saturday of January named an official holiday and <b>National Seed Swap Day </b>was born. After that
event’s success, seed swaps in other cities across the nation have
joined in celebrating <b>National Seed Swap Day</b> each year on (or around*) the last Saturday in January.<br />
<br />
Please help spread the word on this fun, green occasion!<br />
<br />
<br />
*We consider any seed swap taking places two weeks before or two weeks after the actual <b>National Seed Swap Day </b>to be part of our celebration.

Great Rivers Saloon, 7529 Michigan Ave, St. Louis MO 63111<br />
<span class="fsl">Although winter may have your garden locked up with
cold and snow there's no reason to not think about the future as spring
will soon be opening up to your gardening adventures. Come on down to
the St. Louis seed swap and bring your seeds to share with others. We
will have some local experts share advice on seed preservation and
germination as well as some free door prizes. There is no cost for this
event and likewise seeds are given away for free and never sold. All
donated seeds must be labeled with the variety and year harvested and
you must declare them to be GMO free. No genetically modified or
patented seeds will be allowed at this event. So come on down into a
light and free-flowing atmosphere with friends and fellow growers. If
you do not have seeds to share you may still come down to partake in
this as there will be many seats available to the public .Swapping is
not mandatory it is just a term to promote sharing. There will be many
free seeds available and we encourage you to come on down and get your
germination on!!! Remember that seed saving is your inherent birthright
and no one is allowed to take that away from you.</span> <br />

<b><span style="font-size: x-small;">Second Annual National Seed Swap Day - Seattle, WA</span></b><br />
Phinney Neighborhood Center<span style="color: #222222;">, Seattle, WA</span><br />
The event will be held from 1-4 pm on Saturday, January 31st, 2015.
Bring your seeds and your notebooks too, because we will be offering
workshops on seed saving and cleaning, and will have a very special
guest giving a talk. If you don’t have seeds to share, you are welcome to come to learn
and to get a few seeds- just please be mindful of how much you take- we
expect a couple hundred people and want everyone to be able to get some
seeds. This event will also mark the opening of our fourth seed library
branch, right there at the Phinney Tool Lending Library. If you are part
of the neighborhood, this is an excited new resource for you. Any questions about the event can be directed to Caitlin at urbanfoodwarrior@gmail.com<br />
