Seattle Seed Swaps

Winter is a wonderful time to dream, plan and share resources for your upcoming 2026 gardening season. Saturday January 31 you can join our friends at the Washington State Seed Library Network for a seed swap featuring seed exchange/share, workshops and tabling with Garden Hotline and Master Composters on hand. This is a great opportunity to get inspired, learn, and share your own gardening tips with others.

If you are bringing seeds to share please make sure they are labeled with crop and variety name and date. Please don’t bring seeds older than 2022 as a guideline. Cuttings and plant divisions from your garden are welcome.

Saturday Jan. 31st 2-4pm at the Phinney Neighborhood Association located 6532 Phinney Ave N.

Our friends are Tilth’s Rainier Beach Urban Farm and Wetlands will be hosting a Community Seed Swap on Sunday February 1st from 1-4pm. This is a family friendly event with all sorts of tables to share edible, medicinal or floral seeds. They will be sharing potted native plants from their community nursery and live stake cuttings from wetland plants like thimbleberry, salmonberry and nine bark. Garden Hotline will be on-site to answer questions. Also, there will be seed themed snacks like Tuscan bean soup and chia seed pudding.

This event is rain or shine with all seed tables indoors while actives will spill into the outdoors. Located at 5513 S. Coverdale St.
