SEED SWAP SET FOR JAN. 28
MnSEED will hold a Seed Swap on Saturday, Jan. 28, 1-4 p.m., at the Anderson Center at Hamline University. “This swap will be an informal gathering of growers, gardeners, pollinator supporters and seed-enthusiasts of all experience levels, and will be open to all seed types,” said Stephanie Hankerson, educator at MnSEED. “Every seed has a story,” says Dawn Lamm, coordinator of the Como Community Seed Library, “and in-person seed swaps allow for these stories to be exchanged.” More at https://www.comoseedlibrary.org/. MnSEED is hosting this event as a part of National Seed Swap Day, which has been celebrated since 2006 in the U.S.; however, seeds have been integral to communities long before.
MnSEED emerged during the pandemic and its emphasis on native pollinator plant seed saving has fueled many other seed and native plant programs such as The Bee Line along Pierce Butler Route in the Frogtown and Midway neighborhoods of St. Paul. More information about the MnSEED seed saving project can be found at northerngardener.org/mn-seed-project/.
