Fall Seed Swap

Share your seeds with others and bring back a few new ones! Swaps are happening on the Second Floor long table, near the balcony, from November 1 - 15!

Need a packet to put your seeds in? Packets will be provided, but supplies are limited. Any breathable and sealable bag will do - paper envelopes are usually best.

All seeds are welcome! Please label the packet with the species name (scientific if applicable) and the date harvested. Feel free to include any special instructions regarding the planting and germination of the seeds.
