SeedSwaps
Canada’s first native seed swap โ
trade seeds with gardeners across the country,
by letter mail.
There’s nowhere to do this in Canada
For the gardener who saves seeds every fall.
For the one who can’t find native species at any garden centre.
For anyone who’s ever wanted to trade with someone across the country.
Native plants are disappearing from Canadian landscapes.
Gardeners have seeds and nowhere to share them.
SeedSwaps is fixing both โ one letter at a time.
How it works
