I just found out about this on the weekend, and am hoping to get there. Seedsavers groups are a great way to get organic, locally-adapted vegetable plants, as well as to meet like-minded people.

Hi Darren,
If you don’t have any seeds to swap can you still go and buy seeds from people?? Donna
I assume that’s OK, Donna. I don’t have anything to swap at the moment either. From what I’ve read elsewhere, Seedsavers groups do sell seed to raise money for their operating costs.
I’m sure they’ll be happy to see some new faces!
Sounds like lots of things are happening.
Keep on having productive fun,
best regards
Michel and Jude
@Michel: Thanks, and thankyou for all you guys have done and continue to do.
