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

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.

You're so kind, Boss.

.Garden & Gossip as with any other organisation that contributes with be getting promoted as much as I can on the day and on Facebook afterwards.

Garden & Gossip have donated these seeds. Thank you

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

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

. 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.
RE: Organising a seed swap!!! - Small chilli - 30-01-2023
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?
RE: Organising a seed swap!!! - Veggie - 30-01-2023
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.
