Default Seed Swaps

Do any of you participate in seed swaps? I do locally every year. Around January or so a bunch of us locally go to the library here and pick up and drop off seed of things we want. It makes it so easy to get seed for things that you would normally pay for. The only catch is, if you pick one, you have to leave one so no one takes everything.

I've never heard of this but it sounds like it's a great idea. I wonder how I could start a seed swap in my area. I think it is a great idea. Sometimes we get too many of one seed for the garden, it would be great if we could swap them with others.

I would say to contact your local library and see if they would be interested. Otherwise, you may want to contact your local extension office and see what they can do. There are certain varieties that can't be raised from seed.

I haven't ever done one, but I have heard about it. I think it's a great idea. How fun to get a bunch of news seeds, and not have to pay for them too!

It's the first time I heard about the sweep swap also, and I agree that it's a wonderful idea. Is the 'leave one get one' rule the only rule applying to the seed swap?
