    A great way to increase the plants in your garden by swapping seeds with other members.





    How it works:

    A parcel is put together, containing little bags of seeds you dont think you'll ever use, this parcel is sent to one person after another from a list on this topic and as each member receives it they take out what seeds they want to use and add some more seeds, hence the "swap", then they post it onto the next member on the list. This way, the package offers a great choice of varieties, covering flowers, veg and herbs for very little outlay.



    Before the parcel arrives:

    Please keep updated by viewing this topic and have the following ready for when the parcel arrives to you. The name and address of the next person on the list, some envelopes for storing seeds from the parcel in and the seeds you intend to put into the parcel yourself.



    Guidelines:


    Getting onto the list:

    Copy the list and simply add yourself to the bottom


    Adding seeds:

    Seeds you have bought will have a use by date and description on them, if you have self-collected your own seed please date when you collected them and add as full a name/description as you can.

            Will do, Pam, I wasn't too sure if you were being "volunteered" for the job of organising the seed parcel or you were actually organising it voluntarily:heehee:

            How do you sign up for the swap? Seems like a brilliant idea
