Weeds & Seeds Swap

Weeds and Seeds Swap got it’s start way back in the late 1990’s, but not as a blog, blogs didn’t exist back then.

With a love for gardening, medicinal herbs and the beautiful outdoors, I started “Weeds & Seeds Swap” as part of my main website, and now, about 10 years later, have moved it to it’s own spot on the web.

The original idea came about when I told several people I had Jewelweed plants growing wild in my yard, and would be happy to send them some if they were to provide me with a self-addressed, stamped box about the size of a video mailer, or just postage if they wanted. The boxes came, and much to my surprise, so did little goodies that I never expected or asked for in exchange.

I’ll be listing our contributors on a separate page. Each year I contact contributors to make sure all are still interested in being a part. As a contributor is added to the list on the “Swap Contributors” page, a post will be made to the blog announcing their contribution; you can find those posts under the the category heading “Swap Contributors” (in the right sidebars).

There will also be posts about gardening, gardens, herbs, plants, and all things related.

• If you have plants or seeds to exchange, or if you write gardening articles and would like to send one that I can post, please click here to send me an email.
• If you don’t see the plants you are looking for listed, please let me know what plants or seeds you are looking for, and what you are willing to exchange for them….they don’t have to be plants; if you have a craft such as making soap, candles, herbal remedies, jewelry, or just about anything, they can be offered in exchange for plants. I will post this information to an “I’m Looking For” page & in posts which wil be listed under the “I’m Looking For” category (see right sidebars).
• You may also contact the contributors directly on the “Swap Contributors” page.
