| Does anyone on this list know if garden web has an exchange for seed/plant exchanges for UK. The one on here seems to only be for USA members to post and / or swop?
I surf their round robin list and feel it a pity that we do not have something like that here in the UK for this list. Does anyone know if we do. |

| Mm, I don't know of any round robins for the UK. We occasionally get big seed swapsies like the International Seed Swap (which was fantastic!).. And there's a swap shop board on the allotments4all.co.uk forum. I'm sure a seed round robin could be started, but I'd have no clue how to organise such a thing. Would be interested in partaking, though! :) Melanie |

| I'm sorry if I read this wrong but there's a link to the European and UK exchanges at the top of the forum page, it used to be quite active but it seems it's died a death. I've just been running a round robin across Europe and I know other gardening pages run them sometimes and have seed exchanges although this was the only really active one I knew. I missed the last seed swap that was on here, I hope Crazy Lady runs another one, they are excellent. Round Robins are fairly easy to organize, you just need to collect addresses work out a route, get some good seeds to start out with and a strong envelope, then you need to work out the rules. Once it's off then you only need to keep track of who has the envelope. Trouble is no one ever seems to want to start one it's always the old hands who seem to end up running them! |
