TOOTING SAFE SEED SWAP

Sharing Seeds invites you to take part in our local Safe Seed Swap!

Running from Saturday 27th March to Monday 5th April 2021




Last March we held a highly successful Seed Swap at Tooting Community Garden, with over 100 attendees. As this kind of event is not possible at present, this year we'll be coordinating a remote seed-swap, via local swapping stations.


Here's how you can take part:
  1. Find your nearest drop off point
  2. Put your spare seeds in an envelope and label as below
  3. Add your seeds to the yellow swap box
  4. Choose a pack of seeds in the box to take home. If there's none you want, try another day.
  5. Get growing and share your swap and growing stories with us online!
