Seed Swap Sunday 2.26.12 FREE!


Looking to garden and grow things this year?  Well, Eco’s hosting a seed swap on February 26th!  Come swap seeds with other gardeners to improve your garden’s variety this spring & learn a couple of new things about growing.  Bring seeds that you have saved over the growing season, *still viable* seeds that you have left over from last season, or new packs you’ve purchased for this season.  And, bring a dish or drink to share with everyone, because snacks are always good.

Some things:
  • Package saved seeds from your garden in paper coin/junk mail envelopes or plastic baggies & label seed packs with botanical and common name.
  • Bring viable seeds in packets bought from seed companies (please make sure they are not too old)
  • Bring small jars and envelopes to split other seed packets.  We will have a limited amount available for you.
  • If you don’t have any seeds, pick some up to trade with.  Or, ask around- many people have seeds laying around.
  • The more seeds you bring, the more you can trade.
  • Cuttings of plants are welcome too.  Please bring written info on cultivation & plant name (if you know it)
  • Any leftover seeds will be donated to the Eco Seed Bank, which is available for free to  anyone wishing to grow.
We’ll have an info station on starting seeds, and there will be many gardeners around to answer questions & compare notes with.
Sunday Feb 26, 2012    2pm-5pm
@ the Eco Collective, in Pilsen
