How to make your seed packets:
Your seed packets can be homemade or purchased. You can use different materials for each package or make them all the same! Past seed swappers have used coin envelopes, paper baggies, blank seed packets, recycled materials, and even cleverly folded wrapping paper. Whether you make a beautiful, Instagram-worthy design, or go a more utilitarian route, make sure your seeds will be nicely contained.
Make sure to include this info on your seed packets:
The name of the seed variety you are sharing and any special growing instructions.
If you know it, USDA hardiness zone information and days to maturity
If you want, your name or social media handle, so recipients can give you a follow!
Recipes or a story behind the seeds you are sharing, if you like!
How many seeds per envelope?
We recommend a minimum of 5-10 seeds per packet, depending on the type of seed. The smaller the seed, the more you should include. Please send enough to make sure your recipient will germinate at least a few plants! They’ll want to harvest and save future seeds of their own.

As I stood there with the sun shining on me I was feeling alone in my garden. How is that possible? I was surrounded by sunflowers that were blooming 7 feet high, I was sweetly encouraging the ladybugs to move into the house I made them and taking in the scent of black gold, the beautiful dirt I had been lovingly amending. I was anything but alone in the garden yet there was still a connection that was missing. This feeling of being alone in my garden is what drew me to the Super Duper Seed Swap.
