Our thanks to October Books, our sponsor for the last three years. October Books, 243 Portswood Road, Southampton. For a period after this event, they will have a small selection of left-over seeds on their counter, which you can choose from for a voluntary donation.

Seedy Sunday has been taking place in Brighton for several years - now a very big event there, and was the inspiration for Southampton's first Seed Swap in 2006 ("Seedy Saturday" as we then called it).

Why hold a Seed Swap?

Over the past century we have lost 97% of our vegetable varieties in the UK alone. A handful of corporations now control a quarter of the world's entire seed market - the very same corporations that are pushing their GM 'products' into our homes and on to our tables.
