National Seed Swap Day – Last Saturday in January
Now that the Holidays are over, things have slowed down. The snow is piling up outside. Somewhere out there, your Garden is under inches, if not feet of Snow. Spring is so, so far away. What’s a gardener to get excited about!?
Towards the end of January, or the last Saturday to be exact, is a huge, Holiday, for gardeners suffering from no dirt under the fingernail’s withdrawal. National Seed Swap Day!
People have been swapping and trading seeds, since man, or woman, first tilled the soil of this planet. Centuries ago, seeds and even flower bulbs have been used as a form of currency or to barter.
On National Seed Swap Day, garden groups and organizations, hold a seed swap for their members allowing them to trade uncommon, heirloom seeds. Garden hobbyists enjoy the challenge of growing something they haven’t grown before.
On National Seed Swap Day, make plans to bring seeds to swap to your local garden club. If you don’t belong to a garden group or club, join a club or better yet start your own garden club.
When you participate in National Seed Swap Day, Spring will not seem so far away.
