Join us and the Forest Park Public Library for a free and fun seed swap on March 12th. The seed swap is a public event where gardeners can bring excess or unwanted seeds and swap them for something new. Don't have any seeds to swap? That's okay too. There are always plenty to go around. More info and  RSVP here.
