And then we will have a *Seed Swap*! Bring your viable seeds to share and
swap. Identify your seeds as best you can, include crop, variety, year
grown, grower's name, location grown, flavor, etc. Share your experiences
with the crops you like to grow. No seeds to share? No Problem! Come as
you are!
