Event Details

"Calling all seed harvesters and kitchen gardeners! Join us at the #RivertonBranch for our first annual Kitchen Garden Seed Swap. Arrive with any labeled* seeds you'd like to share with your fellow gardeners and leave with what others bring to share. Come for the seeds, stay for the conversation (which we hope will be full of neighbor-to-neighbor tips for beginners and advanced gardeners and seed harvesters alike)!

*Please feel free to drop by the Riverton Branch any time we're open to pick up empty seed packets to fill with your own seeds before bringing them to the swap. If you use your own packets, please make sure to include the following information:

- Seed Type
- Date Collected
- Growing Notes (optional)
- Your name or initials (optional)

Also welcome at the swap are any seed-starting or gardening supplies in good condition that you would like to re-home. Any items left over at the end of the swap will be considered for our #LibraryOfThings or donated.

Leftover seeds will be used to seed our new Riverton Branch Seed Library."

Let us know you're coming!

* In the event of severe weather, the Seed Swap & Scion Exchange will be postponed to the following Sunday, April 5 from 12-4 pm.

"Gardeners and orchardists are invited to bring their #seeds, #scionwood and #cuttings to share. If you don’t have any, come anyway! There is always plenty of seeds and scion to go around.

If you’ve been to the event before, you know that space can get tight at the start of the event. We encourage folks to join the event later in the day — we promise, there are still plenty of seeds and scions available over the duration of the event!

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!"

#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."
