Now in its second year, the Petersfield Seed Swap has grown into a much-anticipated community event.
Whether to grow flowers for a cutting garden, venture into the benefits of home-grown vegetables, enjoy nurturing herbs and sampling salad or a combination of all growing possibilities, the Seed Swap provides the opportunity to swap a variety of seeds, try something new for the coming growing year, meet fellow gardeners in a central location and gain advice from local gardening organisations.
With the swap taking place in March, there may also be seedlings and plants available to exchange too. Surplus cabbage seedlings, too many burgeoning sweet peas, pots of strawberry plants going spare - bring them along and share the growing love!
Organised by the Growing Together gardening podcast along with Petersfield’s Shine Radio, the Petersfield Seed Swap is supported by East Hampshire District Council’s Grow Up programme, funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
The Petersfield Men’s Shed are making wooden boxes for the seed packets, a group of local scouts are taking care of refreshments on the day to raise funds for a school trip, there will be a 'Seed Sowing Corner' for younger growers and expert horticulturists are hosting specialist workshops.
We look forward to seeing you there!
