Seed and plant swapping day next weekend

This was in todays e-newsletter from Seed savers;

"We will be hosting our annual Seedy Sunday seed and plant swap on Sunday, March 4 from 12 to 4 pm. This year the event will be held at our site in Capparoe, Scariff rather than at the school in Scariff where it was held in past years. There is no charge for this event, and will also include free admission to walk around the seed gardens and orchards at Seed Savers. All are welcome to attend and to bring any surplus seeds and plants that they want to swap and share with other gardeners. Anyone who brings seeds or plants to swap will receive a free coffee/tea and biscuit voucher.
Forget-me-not, if you have it, you can probably give it away. There are seeds that dont need saving!

Mark your calendars for our Celebration of Seeds to be held at the West County Hotel in Ennis, County Clare on Saturday March 31 and Sunday April 1. Saturday will feature workshops on gardening with children, easy seed sowing for beginners, setting up seed grower networks, and success with sowing and growing potatoes. Sunday will feature a seed and plant swap with seeds from Irish Seed Savers, Brown Envelope Seeds in Cork, and the Heritage Seed Library in the UK, as well as information stalls from Grow It Yourself Ireland and other gardening organisations. This event is funded by the Irish Environmental Network. "
