We will collect seeds in September through to February. Please look at our website or social media pages to see where these can be dropped off. We will be popping up at different venues and events but hope to use library locations as permanent donation site(s) in the city.

The seeds will be distributed free at seed swap events and various venues from Feb 2023 to May/June 2023.

If you have never done it before, the very easiest seeds to save are French beans, tomatoes, peas, wildflowers, and lettuce because these almost always self-pollinate; this means you can save seeds from plants you have grown as normal - nothing extra necessary.

Please head here for our guide on seed saving.
