Wheaton Public Library Hosts Seed Swap with Sustain DuPage
Dreaming of Spring and fresh produce from your garden? Get a head start on your planning and join Sustain DuPage at our free Seed Swap!
What to bring:
- We welcome heirloom and open pollinated seeds, including those purchased packets you didn’t use all of last year.
- Please bring seeds saved or purchased within the last 2-4 years or less, and stored in a cool, dark, and dry place.
- Label the seeds with the type, variety, and the date and location they were harvested, along with any other descriptions that might be helpful. An example would be: Cherry Tomato: Italian Yellow Cherry. 2020 grown in Glen Ellyn.
- Please DO NOT bring seeds saved from hybrid plants. They won’t grow true to type.
- You are welcome to come take seeds even if you do not have seeds to contribute, just please take only what you can use this season.
- Your preferred seed storage: Ziploc bags, envelopes, medicine jars.
We will have:
- Blank envelopes and pens for you to take notes
- Some of our seeds to share
- Activities and coloring pages for kids
- A hands on seed demonstration table
Seeds left at the end of the day will be donated to the Wheaton Public Library’s Seed Library and the Sustain DuPage Seed Cache.
