How the Garden Grows! Update #2 - Seed Exchange!

An update to the update: How the Garden Grows!  

Seed Exchange Guidelines:

Prepare your seeds for the exchange:

• Divide your seeds into small envelopes or plastic bags prior to the exchange (we recommend 10-20 seeds per package).
• Label each package or attach a note card with as much information as possible to will help your fellow gardeners grow your seeds successfully, such as:

• Plant Type (i.e. Green Beans – Bush)
• Variety (if known)
• Hybrid or open-pollinated **Do not bring seed you have collected from hybrid plants.**
• Number of days until harvest (i.e. 60 days)
• Planting guidelines (i.e direct, transplant, 6” apart, 1/2 “ deep)
• Seed Source (i.e. My Garden)
• Year purchased or harvested
• Characteristics of the edible parts (i.e. Tomatoes – great slicers)

When you arrive for the seed exchange, place your seeds on the appropriate table:

• Cucubits: Cucumbers, squash, pumpkins, melons, etc.
• Greens: Lettuce, brassicas, spinach, chard, collards
• Herbs: Basil, chamomile, lemon grass, oregano, etc.
• Legumes: Beans, peas, etc.
• Roots: Beets, carrots, onions, radish, turnips, chives, etc.
• Solanaceae: Tomato, pepper, etc.
• Other: Corn, grains, flowers, etc.

The seed exchange will work on the honour system. Please do not take more packages than you have brought, until it is announced that all donors have completed their exchange. If you did not bring seeds to exchange, please wait until we have announced that all donors have completed their exchange. We have lots of extra seeds, so there will be seeds for everyone!
