The Floyd EcoVillage presents the Annual Floyd County Seed Swap Potluck on Saturday, March 2, 2024.
Join us for the Annual Floyd County Seed Swap Potluck! Get and give free seeds. Share them if you got them to spare, take them if you'll plant them!
Why not try something new in this year's garden? There’s always pleasant surprises including heirloom veggies, flowers, and herbs, ornamentals. All varieties are welcome. Got extra plants to give away? Bring them. There will also be an optional potluck. You know there will be some good Garden food.
Be sure to bring seeds that were properly stored for viability so other gardeners will have success planting them. It is also helpful to provide information such as seed source (yourself or Aunt Sue or a seed company), year saved, variety name, and any other characteristics you'd like to share. There will be some envelopes provided, but bringing your own is strongly encouraged.
Please check the seed viability chart against the age of your seeds here:

Don’t be late because this year we’ll have guest speakers Tom Maxey from Gracious Day Grains, a field to oven grain endeavor focusing on landrace varieties and artisan milling, and Ed Skopol from I-TAL Acres discussing the history, folklore, and spirituality of cannabis, plus The Fork Mountain Ramblers will be providing music to accompany the community meal this year!
The Forgotten Farms Seed Library is located in the Floyd EcoVillage Farm Store so be sure to check it out while you’re here.
All remaining seeds will be donated to Plenty! to help further their mission of nourishing the community and feeding hungry neighbors by growing and sharing food.
The event is free and open to the public. All are welcome and not just Floyd County residents.
The Seed Swap is made possible by Forgotten Farms and through the generosity of Floyd EcoVillage, Seed Savers Exchange, Herman’s Garden Seeds, High Mowing organic Seed, Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company, Community Seed Network, Hudson Valley Seed Company, BBB Seeds, Peaceful Valley Farm Supply, and local seed savers and businesses.
The Floyd EcoVillage is located at 188 Eco Village Trail in Floyd, VA.
