Save your seeds now for swapping in 2026!Come experience the fun of seed swapping at Rockwall County’s annual community-wide National Seed Swap Day Event. All are welcome! Have questions? Keep reading . . .
Question: How do I need to package my seeds?
Answer: Package your seeds anyway you like, ziplock, envelope, in bulk or packaged individually, with or without instructions. You can even swap store bought seeds. We will have extra envelopes and ziplock bags for handling swapping from bulk packaging. We will also have a handout that will give attendees directions on how to find research based seed sowing info for seeds that are left without instructions. How you package your seeds is entirely up to you.
Question: How does it work?
Answer: The large meeting room at the library will have their tables set up on a large U, just like they set up for their puzzle exchange. You'll bring your seeds in, place them on a table then you'll browse for seeds you want to take with you. You never know what you might go home with and that is what makes it so fun!
Question: Is there a strict leave one take one rule?
Answer: We will not be strict about keeping it one for one. We want to cultivate the excitement of growing plants from seed and will let the swapping flow however it will flow!
Question: How long do I need to stay at the seed swap?
Answer: You may stay as long as you like. We learn so much from visiting with other gardeners and encourage you to take advantage of that opportunity. We will have chairs available for participants who choose to stay awhile.
Question: Do I take my seeds with me when I leave?
Answer: Please leave some or all of your seeds for the people that come after you. Whatever is left behind will be put to good use, either at the Farmers Market, Library, or any of our other events.
Question: What if I have just moved to the area and don’t have seeds to bring, can I still come to the seed swap?
Answer: Yes, please come to the swap even if you don’t have any seeds to swap. We would love to be a part of helping you get started with your new garden!
