Sourcing seeds was a bit of a challenge last spring so Karry Sawatsky decided to organize a seed exchange to allow folks to ease into gardening this year.
Sawatsky does not belong to a local horticulture group or gardening club. She’s just passionate about gardening. This is the first year she has hosted an official seed swap. In previous years she has casually swapped seeds with friends and neighbours. She decided to invite the community to participate, and reached out to the Elora Brewing Company to ask if they would be willing to be a drop off and pickup location for the swap.

The concept being, instead of saying no to something, you figure out what you want to say yes to.
