Why is seed swapping so important?

It maintains age-old skills

It keeps a diversity of locally adapted varieties alive

It resists the privatisation of plant genetic material

It keeps seed making in the garden and out of the laboratory

It gets round the counter-productive aspects of the National List, which even the government admits are daft

It helps protect biodiversity

Not to mention introducing you to other local gardeners, cementing a sense of community and saving you money. Not bad for something you can do in your back garden!
