Bring along your weeds to identify.

Bring something to swap
The swap table will be open - bring along your seeds, plants or produce to swap with others (No weeds allowed!)

Anna Butterfield: Saving the best to last -- November 18 Seedy Sunday

The November edition of Seedy Sunday is on, after an unexpected hiccup with the September event.

I will be talking about how you can save money, save heritage, save  biodiversity, and save your food all by saving seeds. All it takes is a love of gardening and observation skills. I'll show you the tips and tricks to selecting plants to save seed from and how to harvest , clean and store them.

Remember to bring your labelled seeds, produce and useful plants for the swap table.
