seedling exchange?

checkerkitty · January 8, 2013

Hi all! Just wondering if anyone has ever had a local seedling exchange for the extra plants you started. Barring illness or injury, I may have too many plants to use, beyond the few I have promised to other people. I started too many seeds out of extreme caution. I love the results but I don't have 10 acres of planting space.

I just hand them out everywhere. Starbucks barista crew, church, school, co-workers, family, etc. Last year I ended up giving away around 30 plants because i tried mass plantings of seedlings and...it worked.
I know that you can find garden groups that meet up and there are also vegetable gardening groups that would most likely do some form of exchange. Easiest way to find these is your local nursery or online.
