How to participate: 

• Share only seeds of edible plants that your fellow gardeners would grow from seed, such as annual vegetables, herbs and edible flowers.
• If donating packaged seed, it should be organic or open-pollinated, plant types that will produce seed true to the stated variety. Heirlooms are by definition open-pollinated.
• If donating home-saved seed, please winnow and clean it off the stems or stalks as much as possible and bring only the seed.
• If you can’t clean it in advance, plan to spend some time cleaning it the swap. Some swaps will have screens and buckets available.
• All shared seed should be fresh, within three years of purchase or saving.
• Label all seed donations with seed type, variety if known, and year it was grown/saved.
• Bring envelopes and a pen to store and label your new seeds.
