#NewZealand / #Aotearoa #CropSwap
Toha atu toha mai / I share with you, you share with me
"Crop Swap gatherings are for everyone who is happy to share. Just bring your garden's and kitchen's surplus, turn up in time (or even a little earlier to help with the set up), display your treasures nicely, walk around and admire your fellow crop swappers goodies, mix and mingle, share your best jam recipe and enjoy the presence of people who find joy in the moneyless exchange of #MotherNature's abundance. Once everyone is officially welcomed and the sharing is opened you are invited to mindfully take what you are interested in. Everything is there to go to a new home. Take your time and keep other's in mind, the slow ones, the children, the elders, so that everyone has the chance to fill their baskets with beautiful food. After this please help with the clean up, get home safely and tell everyone, how awesome it was. Next time, bring a friend!
Find a crop swap
Starting a Crop Swap hub in your area is super easy. All you need is a venue and the people. Depending on your climate, the season and the people you want to share with a Crop Swap gathering can be anywhere, in a hall, a sports club, a school, a cafe, a garage, in a park, under a pavilion or even in your living room. To make it accessible for everyone it is good to have parking close by. To make it attractive for families consider a space where children can run around safely. Having tables and a few chairs available is helpful to accommodate the needs of people with different abilities. Once you found a venue (and don't get caught up in that too much as you can always change it) invite your future fellow crop swappers. Again, possibilities are endless. There are community newspapers, school newsletters, letter box leaflets, information boards in garden centres, shops, libraries and environment centres, emails, Facebook and, of course, good old word of mouth invitations. Set a date and time for your first gathering and enjoy the flow."

While I wasn't paying attention, my chilli plants are doing odd things! 🌶️
One fruit is green and finger-sized, but all the others are tiny and black. Any idea why they're growing so differently?
I got these seeds in a swap from a friend in Germany. The envelope was labelled “Buschpfeffer”.

Community members and local seed #growers regularly bring an incredible variety of #vegetable, #fruit, #flower, and #herb seeds. We also regularly have over 150+ types of scionwood to share, including scionwood sourced from MOFGA’s orchards. We will also have limited quantities of #rootstock for sale. Custom #grafting is available by donation to the #MaineHeritageOrchard.
Other items for sharing are welcome such as plants, cuttings, #seedlings, hatching eggs, #kombucha and #YogurtStarters, #salves and other homemade items.
The day’s offerings also include #gardening and #orcharding workshops and demonstrations. Our full list of educational offerings for the day is coming soon!"

Tagging for an early #SolarPunkSunday, since this event is tomorrow, January 31st!
#MinotND - Community #SeedSwap event set for Jan. 31
Jan 23, 2026
"NDSU Extension-Ward County is inviting gardeners, seed savers and anyone curious about growing their own plants to join Ward County Master Gardeners at a Community Seed Swap, Saturday, Jan. 31, from 1-3 p.m. The event will be at the Ward County Extension Office, 900 13th St. SE, Minot.
"This free, family-friendly gathering celebrates #NationalSeedSwapDay, a long-standing tradition which brings people together to exchange seeds, stories and gardening knowledge. National Seed Swap Day, held annually on the last Saturday in January, serves as a reminder to gardeners that spring is on its way and marks an ideal time for preparation of starting seeds indoors. Additionally, the exchange of seeds perpetuates biodiversity throughout the #community.
"Whether an experienced seed saver or just getting started, the event offers a friendly place to meet fellow gardening enthusiasts and discover new varieties for the 2026 growing season.
"Light refreshments will be provided, and #MasterGardeners will be on hand to answer questions about seed saving, including best practices for labeling and storing seeds, as well as other gardening tips. Attendees are encouraged, but not required, to bring seeds in clearly labeled packets with plant name, variety and year collected to make swapping easier for everyone.
"For more information, contact the Ward County Extension Office at 857-6444."
