This is the time of year to start saving seeds from your garden for next year. I am looking at hosting a local seed exchange next spring and would like to gauge interest first. There are many benefits to participating in a seed exchange. For existing gardeners, it’s a great way to expand your seed collection without having to spend money on new seeds. For new gardeners, it's a great way to start a collection by acquiring surplus seeds from existing gardeners if they are willing (and they usually are).
