Seed + Plant Swap - Brink!
Swap seeds, seedlings, and tips with other gardeners, and help reduce waste at the perfect time of year to get planting. This event opens doors to a growing movement of sharing and avoiding waste that we all need to be part of.
Sometimes we don’t empty all of our seeds from a packet, or don’t want to grow the same variety year after year. A seed swap gives you the opportunity to exchange a pick of seeds for another one while sharing growing tips. Seeds can be fruit, flower or vegetable and must be valid for the 2023 growing season. Everyone is welcome.
Date and time: Saturday 22nd Apr 10:30am
Location: The MAC, 10 Exchange Street, Belfast, BT1 2NJ
