Community Seed Swap
With Organic Farmers Sarah Vecci, Brenda Hedges
Build Community Resilience and Share the Seed Wealth!
Come share seeds and meet other gardeners.
Bring excess packets, packets to split, or bulk packets of veggie, herb, and flower seeds to share with your neighbors and take home. Please no seed older than 5 years unless you have germ tested it or successfully planted within the last year.
Kids are welcome! There will be a seed art activity for them while you shop for free seeds.
Helping you to navigate the seeds are Sarah Vecci and Brenda Hedges. Sarah has been a commercial vegetable grower, seed farmer, and currently homesteads in Waterbury Center where she sells plant starts at the end of her driveway each spring.
