Seed Exchange on Wednesday, January 14th from 5:00 - 8:00 at Peoples Food Coop (3029 SE 21st Ave, Portland, Oregon 97202) Lets get together and share seeds for the 2015 season! We thought wed have our seed swap coincide with the Peoples Food Coop Farmers Market. (Its a bit early for International Seed Swap Day on January 25.) For the seed swap to go well, please do the following: Bring seeds to offer into the swap. Its a seed swap, not a seed giveaway. While wed like to focus primarily on vegetables, medicinals and other functional species, seeds for ornamentals are cool too, if thats youre thing. Please make sure theyre labeled as to species and variety (and also open-pollinated vs. hybrid, if known). Please dont bring unknown seeds or seeds that are too old to germinate reliably. You could consider seeds that are more than 6 years old, too old. If your seeds are between 2-4 years old, we may want to combine them with other seeds for making seedballs. Bring containers to take seeds home in (small jars, empty seed packets, empty teabag packets, etc.) If you do not have seeds to share, no problem. Just make sure to save seeds from the seeds you gather and bring them back for next years seed exchange! Thats about it! Some masking tape, markers, and other useful tools for labeling seeds will be provided, but feel free to bring your own too. Feel free to share widely. The more the merrier! (Note: The way the seed exchange will work: ALL seeds will be placed out on tables, by category, and we will observe the honor system. If you have unopened packets of seed that you would like to share part of, please separate out what you want to keep prior to coming. No GMO or fumigated seeds, please... Volunteers are needed. Please contact Marisha through Permaculture Rising directly if you are interested. --- Permaculture Rising permaculturerising
