Seedy Sunday is back for its 22nd year, bringing together seasoned gardeners, beginners, and everyone in between for the UK’s largest community seed swap event. Join us for the perfect start to the gardening season, where you can swap, donate & buy everything you need for your allotment, garden or balcony space.
At the heart of the event is our Seed Swap Table, where you can exchange seeds, discover unique heirloom varieties, and learn from local growing experts.
There will also be inspiring talks and workshops, stalls with plants, gardening equipment, and delicious food, plus the chance to connect with like-minded green fingered folk, and activities for kids and the whole family.
Programme of talks

From designing permaculture forest gardens and globally-renowned rewilding projects, to seed sovereignty and container gardening – and of course, a gardener’s question time throw in there – we’ve got you covered with a fascinating line-up of talks to keep you stimulated. We’ve made sure there is something for everyone here – from tentative beginner to seasoned grower.
