Have you ever thought about how expensive seeds are? Especially when you buy a several packets containing hundreds of seeds each when you might only need a few.
Furthermore many heritage seed varieties are being lost due to the majority of seeds currently for sale being produced by huge multinational companies who concentrate on a very small number of varieties without a thought for where you might be growing the plants or encouraging biodiversity.
This is where the Seed Swap comes in. Perhaps you have a favourite bean variety that you have been growing in the area for years or you need a few tomato seeds. The seed swap aims to create a way of circulating these seeds between local gardeners, whilst saving some money at the same time.
If you need some seeds or have spares, please drop them off in the Seed Swap box at the Resource Centre on Great Oak Street.
We hope that this community resource will grow over the next few years. Help Llanidloes protect biodiversity and protest against the increasing control of the seed supply by a handful of large companies.
