A Seed Exchange is a community event or platform where individuals can trade seeds with one another. This practice encourages biodiversity and helps preserve heirloom varieties that may not be available in commercial markets. Participants often bring seeds from their own gardens, share growing tips, and learn about different plant species. These exchanges can take place in person at local gardens, farmers' markets, or online through dedicated websites. They foster a sense of community among gardeners and promote sustainable gardening practices. By participating in a seed exchange, individuals contribute to the conservation of plant genetics and support local food systems.
