DESCRIPTION:First held in 2001, the Seed Swap is a free community event where attendees 
 can trade and exchange edible and native plant seeds, learn about plant 
 breeding, and get advice from seasoned gardeners. The seed swap is open to 
 all, from beginners to experienced gardeners.\n\n    Join a network of seed 
 savers, gardeners, native pollinator supporters to share seeds for growing 
 food and enhancing local habitat.\n    Get started planning your garden 
 with seeds from local gardeners.\n    Learn about seed libraries, growing 
 and saving seeds.\n    Browse through the Bay Area Seed Interchange Library 
 (BASIL)\n\nParticipants are encouraged to bring labeled seeds. Extra 
 seed-saving supplies will be available for those who want to learn more 
 about seed-saving. To best prepare seeds for the swap, we ask attendees to 
 pre-label with 1) the common name, 2) harvest location, 3) year harvested, 
 and 4) number of plants collected from. Cooking and growing information is 
 also helpful!\n\nLimited envelopes for seeds will be available; please come 
 prepared with small envelopes, empty pill bottles, baggies, or containers 
 of your choice to bring home seeds.\n\nThe Bay Area Seed Interchange 
 Library (BASIL) project was started by a network of concerned farmers and 
 community gardeners dedicated to conserving the remaining genetic diversity 
 of our planet’s seed stock. This seed library was a first of its kind and 
 has served as a model and inspiration to seed libraries across the country.

 event includes an optional potluck! We invite you to bring a dish to share 
 if you'd like. If you choose to bring food, please also bring a list of 
 ingredients.\n\nThis event is free, though we ask that attendees bring 
 seeds to exchange or consider a donation of $5-15. No one turned away for 
 lack of funds.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2024/03/20/18864378.php
