I keep getting promotional emails from seed companies I’ve forgotten. So they get an email straight back  Big Grin 

After reading though DTbrowns many many information pages I didn’t contact them. They make it very clear that it wouldn’t happen without actually saying  **** off  Wink .
Strange that as DT Brown used to sponsor my last allotment shop by supplying seeds at half price! Huh
They’re like the other companies that have already said no. They have their set charities/ organisations that they support. They actually have a section on their website stating that. It just takes some finding.

Not on a scale of the seed companies, but Garden and Gossip will donate £25 to spend on seeds, you could order from premier seeds direct and split the packets.
I am only the Boss because Veggie lets me be!

Garden & Gossip have donated these seeds. Thank you  Heart .

   

I’ll be able to split all of these into at least 4 packets when they arrive.  
Hopefully I’ve chosen wisely. A good selection across the board ? It’s difficult choosing seeds for other people    Blush .

Great choice, SC. You'd better start making envelopes now - you'll need about 100. Big Grin

I’ve ordered some   Blush . Because I need quite a few for splitting my own seeds as well. The thought of making over a hundred was just to scary!

Some fine choices there SC, I don't know how you made the decision of what to buy that would entice other people but you seem to have achieved it.

Advice please. As I’ve never been to a swap. What’s the going rate for seeds that are being paid for if they don’t have any to swap?

The HSL seeds at the swap I go to are £1 but its really up to you and how many seeds you have to offer - and what the aim is for raising money. If its to go into the Gardening Club funds - or support a local project or, you might just want to get people gardening and growing.
