THE UK 2020/21 SEED EXCHANGE

Please note I have only 3 places left.

I am asking for 25 participants. Each participant will donate 30 packets of at least one type of giant or exotic seed. Each person will then receive a seed pack containing the full portfolio of seeds. The spare 5 sets will then be donated to growing sites so that they can hold competitions and/or fund raisers. Hopefully, if each grower donates more than one type of seed, the seed pack will be as amazing as last year. I will also ask that as each type of seed is listed, growers should donate either a different species, or a better pedigree. Hope that makes sense. Last year the postage mounted up, so this year I am asking for £3 UK shipping and £5 international shipping via Paypal for the return pack.

UPDATE 11/28/2020

Happy to announce that the last seed pack has arrived at it’s destination. That means that 27 return seed packs have successfully reached their recipients. In the current climate, that’s pretty amazing.

Thanks again to all the generous participants who donated, hopefully the seeds will contribute to a great growing season.
