| Hi everybody,
I'm posting a plea for anyone who might have seeds to spare. I'm part of a community of volunteers who run our very small city's toolshed (communitytoolshed.org) -- basically a lending library of tools for people who live here, to help people do yard projects that beauty our communities and feed people. We have started having an annual plant and seed swap, and I'd be so appreciative of anyone who might have spare flower or vegetable seeds to share that I could make part of it. I can offer to send in return flower seeds I personally have excesses of this year, namely yellow and orange variegated marigolds, cardinal flower and gazanias. Thanks for anything you can spare! |

| Have you tried; http://www.gardenhoard.com/ ? Every family can order 6 packets of seeds once a month. Just have them click on free seeds then FREE SASE Seeds. There they can select 8 seeds, so they will be able to send 6 packets. The return envelope will need 2 stamps. Garden Hoard Six Pack, 14307 Alexander St. Livonia, MI 48154 They will want you to join for free so they can keep track of how often you order as there is a time restriction on how often you can order. |

| Your members can learn how to start them at home before planting times and learn from their mistakes. The packets are in those small zip-lock bags so they will be able to save them if they start saving seeds to share. I just place a piece of paper inside the bag with the ID for each so the bags get used more than once. |

| Over on the Wintersowing forum we have an annual Newbie Seed Give-away that one very dedicated poster organizes on her own. It's called the Newbie Seed Project and it's done by Bakemom (Karen). If anyone from your group sends in an envelope, mailing address and stamps, she'll send back a package of 15 or more types of seeds. She'd welcome the donation of whatever seeds you have to spare, and she turns them around and gives them to others. She is accepting seeds donations at this point, and will start accepting requests sometime soon. She sends out whatever she has and doesn't take any requests for specific seeds because she sends out to over 300 people each year. MIght be just what your group could use. Wintersowing is a great method to check out, too, by the way. Martha |

| If you would send me your address I will get out a goody bag of seeds for you and your organization. I have an abundance of seeds thanks to all the wonderful gardeners in GW. It will include veggies and ornamentals. Thanks and Be Well |
