What a brilliant day we had at our very first Plant & Seed Swap! We were thrilled to welcome 23 people who came along to share seeds, plants, and plenty of gardening enthusiasm. There was a real sense of community as people exchanged tips, stories, and ideas for growing their own food and flowers.
We were also delighted to have Bev from The Shelf join us for the event! She had a great time chatting with everyone and is looking forward to sharing spare seeds and plants at The Shelf, helping more people get involved in growing their own food. Later in the year, she’s also excited to share fresh produce from the community garden, making healthy, homegrown food more accessible to those who need it. It’s fantastic to see these connections growing! 🌿✨
Even better, the rain held off until the very end, giving us the perfect window for a successful event. We all came away with lots of different chilli and tomato varieties to grow, as well as plenty of broad beans to get started. And we’re all looking forward to seeing cosmos flowers pop up later in the year, adding a splash of colour to our gardens!
The good news is, we’ll be doing it all again in May! If you’d like to be the first to know about the next swap, please get in touch and we’ll add you to the list.
A huge thank you to everyone who came along, contributed, and helped make the day such a success. We can’t wait to do it again! 🌱✨
