Donate seeds...take seeds...share locally grown seeds suitable to our Manawatū climate!
The purpose of a seed exchange is to provide free acess to seeds for anyone wishing to growing their own kai, and to house donations from those who wish to share.
We invite donations of seeds for our seed exchanges, seedlings (vegetables and herbs) for planting in community garden projects, and we are a drop-off for clean garden pots in good condition (these go to Tipu Ora Seedlings who only use recycled materials.)
Palmerston North
