January 28, 2011 The last Saturday in January is National Seed Swap Day, which for 2011 is tomorrow, January 29th. Several communities hold their own seed swap on this day. It’s an opportunity to meet up with other seed enthusiasts and swap seeds.

“The first annual Washington Gardener Seed Exchange was held on January 26, 2006. After that event’s success, seed swaps in other cities across the nation have joined in celebrating National Seed Swap Day each year on the last Saturday in January.”

If this is something you haven’t participated in before but think it might work in your community, please check out “How to Organize a Community Seed Swap“, courtesy of Food Not Lawns.

Here’s a video about the seed swap the New Forest Transition group had last year, called “Seedy Sunday”. This is another great example of growing community around food.
