Triad Chapter Seed Swap

The Triad Chapter Seed Swap will be on November 4th, 6:30pm, at the Kathleen Clay Edwards Library Meeting Room
(1420 Price Park Dr., Greensboro, NC 27410)

We will have refreshments, please bring a store bought food or drink to the library to share.

This will be our last evening meeting of the year, we will resume evening meetings again from February through May 2027, there will continue to be daytime meetings at the library on the 3rd Wednesday of each month.

Many members are tremendously knowledgeable about saving and planting native seeds, so it’s a great opportunity to learn!  We are big on winter sowing, and hope everyone will grow more native plants!

Native Plant Seeds should be cleaned and brought in small sizes, such as envelopes, and labeled with common and botanical names, as well as any special planting instructions, as best you can.

Growing from seed keeps our plant populations healthy through diversity, not to mention having plenty of new plants to use on your own property or to share with others. This program is free and open to the public, all are welcome!

Please participate even if you don’t have any native plant seeds to offer, as there are always plenty to share. Those participants who bring seeds will have a brief opportunity to select some seed packets first.

While most seeds should be allowed to dry and are best stored in paper bags in the refrigerator, some, like turtlehead, are best planted immediately so they don’t dry out. Turtlehead is also a bit unusual because unlike most seeds that tend to come out in one big flush, turtlehead seeds will continue germinating through the growing season if you keep the seed flat watered.
