Seed Swap & Social, Saturday 1st February 2025

Last year, on a chilly February morning, over 140 people very generously supported our inaugural Seed Swap & Social Community Event. It was a BIG success - and you headed home smiling broadly clutching small packets of seeds. You also told us you’d be back next year so we’d better plan on being there!  Which was lovely. 

Thank you again for helping to make the event the success it was. We’re preparing to welcome you all back to the Scout Hall for our second Seed Swap & Social Event on Saturday 1st February 2025, 10.00 till 12.30.

Our goal remains to make the event accessible to as many people as possible - entry and all seeds remain free to attendees, although donations are very welcome as every penny helps keep us alive. We hope this will encourage everyone, young and old, to grow a variety of plants, regardless of gardening experience or financial situation.

Apart from the seed swap itself, there will be the Seedy Cafe with refreshments and homemade cake, seed sowing demonstrations, a raffle and Critter’s Corner to encourage youngsters to get growing from seed.

Seedy boxes are already in Sew Inspired and The House Cafe in the High Street - so please drop off your collected seed anytime between now and the event.  The earlier the better, so it gives us time to pack them up.  All seeds welcome, but no out of date packets, please!

It just remains for us to wish a very happy and peaceful festive season to all our  members, and remember to get out in your gardens and allotments as much as the weather will allow. A bit late for crocus and narcissus now, but still time to plant tulips up to mid-January!

All the best,

Tessa
