Grow Something New: Join Our First-Ever Community Seed Swap! Bring labeled seeds from your garden (or unopened packets from last year) and swap them for new varieties to grow this season. Seed Swap - Frequently Asked Questions Info About the Seeds How should I save seeds from my garden? You can save seeds in brown sandwich bags in a cool dry place until it is time to divide them up into small bags or envelopes.  How should I package seeds from my garden for sharing at the Seed Swap? Mini plastic zip-top bags or manila coin envelopes make great seed packets.  Organize and label the seed packets with the name of the plant and basic growing information. Growing information includes sun/shade requirements, how tall or wide the plant gets.  I don't have seeds from my garden, but I have seed packets I did not use last year. Can I still swap? Yes! Bring any leftover packets of seeds from the last two years to the swap. I don't have any seeds to swap. Can I still participate? Yes...
