National Seed Swap Day

In the United States, the last Saturday of January is "National Seed Swap Day". It is a day for gardeners, farmers, and plant enthusiasts to come together to exchange seeds, share knowledge, and celebrate the diversity of plant life. The goal of the holiday is to encourage seed saving, promote biodiversity, and support sustainable agriculture. Seed swaps can take place in various settings, such as community gardens, schools, libraries, and online platforms, and participants can bring their own seeds or trade with others. National Seed Swap Day was established by the Seed Savers Exchange, a nonprofit organization that promotes seed preservation and cultural diversity. The holiday is celebrated not only in the United States but also in other countries around the world.
