Winter Seed Swap

Bring seeds, take seeds. Saved your own tomato or bean seeds this autumn? Got half a packet of carrots you will never sow? Pop them in an envelope, write what they are, and swap them for something new to try next spring.

No seeds to bring? Come anyway: there are always plenty to share. Our growers’ tips table is staffed by allotment old hands who will tell you exactly when to sow broad beans and why your courgettes sulked this year.

Hot apple juice on the go all day, and a kids’ sowing corner where little ones can plant cress in an eggshell to take home. Most of the swap is under a gazebo, but the garden is outdoors, so wrap up. Free, no booking needed.
