What are we?
The Bury St Edmunds Seed Swap is an annual seed swapping event held in the heart of Bury St Edmunds. This event is open to the general public and is free to attend.
You can swap shop bought or home picked vegetable seeds, flower seeds, gardening magazines, books or potted house plants. If you have no seeds to swap, we are asking for a small donation of 50p an item. All donations collected will go to charity.
Why are seed swaps important?
Seed swap events have many benefits. They are a great way to help people garden inexpensively and reduce waste, connect and learn from other gardeners and preserve seed varieties, to name a few. Spending time in green spaces also helps mental and physical health.
For the community
This event is open to all. Whether you are an experienced gardener preparing your front garden for Bury In Bloom, an avid allotmenteer looking for something new to try for the growing season or to swap vegetable seed packets you don’t particularly care for, a novice or first time gardener looking for an inexpensive way to trial and error vegetable and flower growing, or just someone looking for like minded people to have some coffee and cake with and connect over a love of gardening and growing.
