Growing a food movement with one of the largest community seed swaps co-hosted by San Diego Seed Swap and Berry Good Food Foundation!
About this Event

Join us for a FREE gardening event where the community comes together to swap seeds, share knowledge, and celebrate sustainable living! Together, we will grow a food movement with one of the largest community seed swaps.



The Spring San Diego Seed Swap will be at the newly opened SDSU Mission Valley River Park right next to Snapdragon Stadium on Sunday, April 27th from 10 AM - 1 PM.

Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just curious about growing your own food, this event is for you. Bring seeds and plants to trade or just show up—everyone will leave with something to plant!

We expect to reach max capacity so you'll want to register now and invite your friends —we can't wait to see you there!

Registration will be released in small batches every Sunday at 3 PM until the event to increase accessibility.
