Last year, the Seed & Plant Swap was a resounding success with over 70 people attending…..so Barleybird thought they’d do it again!

- Opened or unopened packets of bought seed
- Saved seed (as long as you are confident they will breed true!)
- 1-2 year old seeds if they have been stored well
- Spare seedlings & plants too!
