Nations Seed Swap Day was started back in 2006. It's a great way for gardeners to share their locally harvested seeds, heirloom seeds from their gardens and seed packets that they don't want anymore. To ask Master Gardeners gardening questions. A place for gardeners to connect and share with each other what works and what doesn't. There will also be a "hands on" demonstration table on how to harvest your own seeds for the future.
Come together and exchange nature's valuable gifts, the gift of seeds. National Seed Swap Day has been going on since 2006. This will be Zion's first year participation and we plan on making it a yearly event.
