Trading seeds adds diversity and resilience to a geographical area, It saves us all money and it brings like-minded people together as neighbors. A seed swap  is a community builder.

Please bring vegetable, herb, and flower seeds of a sustainable variety. Either organic--heirloom--home saved--open-pollinated--even hybrid/commercial as long as not genetically-modified, chemically treated, or blessed with some other Monsanto Saturday-night special.  It would be outstanding to trade seeds that are adapted to this area.

Permaculturist Geoff Lawton has 400 varieties of edibles and medicinals in his "kitchen garden." Wouldn't it be wonderful to do that here?

Please label with as much information as you have. Bring small sacks if you have them. Tea bags work great.
