If you don’t know all the information\, that is okay; just provide as much as you can.\nYes\, you can bring unused or opened commercial seed packs. \nWhat If You Don’t Have Any Seeds to Swap?\nCome anyway! Even if you don’t have any seeds to trade\, you are welcome to attend. We’ll have plenty of extra seed contributions on hand and many attendees will be there just to learn\, network\, and prepare for next year’s seed collecting. \nEducation Program\nExpert speakers from the local gardening community will give short talks on seed collection and propagation tips. There will be ample time for individual Q&A throughout the program with the featured speakers\, and invited experts as well. \n
