Description

Bring some seeds and take some seeds - the 21st Annual BASIL Seed Swap is open to gardeners of all levels! Come learn and share. The Bay Area Seed Interchange Library (BASIL) Seed Swap is finally back! Join us at the Saturday Downtown Berkeley Farmers’ Market for one of our most popular events of the year. The Seed Swap will include free educational resources for sustainable gardening and seed saving, as well as a space to connect and learn with other local gardeners. Come share your seeds with BASIL and Berkeley community members – we welcome all seed and gardening enthusiasts – whether you are a new or experienced grower! BASIL is a community project housed at the Ecology Center and is going on 22 years! This seed library was a “first” of its kind and has served as a model and inspiration to seed libraries across the country. To best prepare seeds for the swap, please pre-label with the common name, variety name, genus, species, harvest location, year harvested, the number of plants collected from. Cooking and growing information is also helpful! While there is no registration for this event, we ask that you consider a donation of seeds or $5-$20.
