Now in its third year, the Petersfield Seed Swap has grown into a much-anticipated community event. With the opportunity to swap seeds, meet local gardening organisations, gain growing knowledge from workshops and meet like-minded people, the Petersfield Seed Swap offers exciting and inspiring growing possibilities for the coming season. There will also be a ‘Seed Sowing Corner’ for young growers.
Taking place on Saturday March 8th at Winton House on Petersfield High Street from 10am-12.30pm, the Seed Swap is free to attend and refreshments will be available.
The Petersfield Seed Swap is organised by Petersfield-local resident and keen gardener Claire Vennis, with support from Petersfield’s Shine Radio.
