We hope you can join us on Saturday, March 11th, to gather in community for CCJ’s Third Annual Seed Swap! It was a huge success the last two years and we are so excited to host it again!
Our seed swap is a wonderful way to connect with one another and to share our resources as a community! Please consider bringing seeds to swap, but don’t worry if you don’t have any to share: We’ll have lots of extras. Leave what you can, take what you need. Stay as long or as little as you’d like.
The event will be in-person at CCJ’s office, located at 31 East Chestnut St, Washington, PA, from 1:00 to 4:00 PM. Light refreshments will be provided.
In addition to the seed swap, CCJ will give out free Grow-Your-Own-Potatoes kits for those who register to receive one. Each kit will include one container with potting soil, potato sets, and as many other seeds as you’d like. All potato bags have already been claimed – if you are still interested, please select to be added to the waiting list!
We will have a Kids’ Activity, so bring your little ones! They can learn the joys of starting seeds by planting fast-growing green beans. They can also paint their own terracotta pot to take their soon-to-sprout seeds home in! (available as long as supplies last – please pre register so we can get enough supplies for everyone to enjoy this fun activity and experiment!)
In addition, we will have information available at the Seed Swap about the community cookbook we are creating. We would love it if you could contribute some of your favorite recipes!
Finally, some of our local partners from the Seed-to-Supper Program and Firefly Gardens will be at the Seed Swap to tell you about other fun opportunities coming up for those who love to garden at home or in the community.
If you aren’t able to make it to our Seed Swap but would like to contribute, feel free to mail seeds to us at P.O. BOX 4023, Washington, PA 15301.
We are so excited to talk gardening, seeds, and sustainability with you all! 🌱🌷🌞
