seed swap
Plant starter trade
A seed swap is an event where gardeners exchange seeds from their collections, typically organized by community groups, libraries, or gardening clubs.
Participants bring seeds they've saved from their own plants and trade for varieties they don't have: I picked up some heirloom tomato seeds at the seed swap.
The practice preserves genetic diversity and builds local gardening networks.
