                        How to Organize a Seed Interchange (Swap)

                        Interested in hosting a seed interchange. This guide will help you organize your swap while educating people about the basics of seed saving.

                        Our first semi-annual seed swap was March 22, 2010. Here are some of the photos. Our intention at Richmond Grows is to support other communities in having seed swaps and libraries. Check back and we will have resources from our table signs to a check list on how to set your own community seed swap up.

                        Steps:
                        1.  Promote event
                        2.  Create table signs
                        3.  Create educational posters
                        4.  Get your volunteers
                        5.  Day of the event
                        6.  Clean up


                        We organized our tables, as well as our library, by plant families.
