This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Community.

In this Badge Bit, you will organize a seed swap!

This BB has a point range from 1/2 to 5 points:

I organized a seed swap back in February for our local homesteading club.  There were 10 people in attendance (I took the pics) and 6 or 7 brought seeds.

Staff note (Mike Barkley) :

Oops, my mistake. This is certified for 3 points, not 7.5.

Made a FB event for Aug 27th, 2023 and shared with all of the local gardening groups.  
124 responses, 13 Came, 6+ folks brought seeds and tubers, 1 brought sourdough starter, everyone left with lots of seeds and huge smiles!
Had a great time and will repeat the event in a month to allow folks to harvest more seeds.
