SeedSwaps
Canada’s first native seed swap —
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 — one letter at a time.
How it works
Simple as sending a letter
List your seeds
Post what you have — native wildflowers, cottage favourites, rare finds. Tell us what you’re looking for in return.
Find a match
Browse listings from Canadian gardeners by province, plant type, and growing zone. Filter by native, naturalized, or cottage varieties.
Mail your seeds
Pack your seeds in a kraft envelope, tuck it in a regular letter. Aim to mail within 5 days of agreeing — one Canada Post stamp is all you need.
Rate & repeat
Leave a rating after your swap. Your reputation grows with every successful exchange. The community stays honest and generous.
Join Canadian gardeners on the waitlist. No spam, ever.
