Looking to expand your seed selection this season? Dig into our Seed Swap!

To participate, stop by the Seed Swapping table at the Garden Fair at Abington Free Library on March 21 at 1:00 p.m. and follow these steps:

1. Place the seeds you are donating into a clear baggie or an envelope with any photos you have of the plants, fruits, or vegetables that the seeds produce.

2. Label the baggie or envelope with as much information as possible, including:

• Common name and variety
• Latin name (family, genus, species)
• The year your seeds were collected
• Where the seeds were grown and your name
• Any extra information you want to include about what makes the variety unique, or tips for growing

3. Once you donate your seeds to the Seed Swap, you get to take seeds for your own collection. Reap what you sow, it’s as simple as that!
