Slow Food Piedmont'sSecond Annual Seed Swap & Potluck
at Old Salem
Saturday, January 19, 2013
Single Brothers' Workshop
(10 W. Academy Street)
Slow Food Piedmont, with support from the Horticulture Department of Old Salem Museums & Gardens, will be holding the much anticipated annual seed swapping event for both new and long-time heirloom seed growers. Free.
Seed swapping is also story swapping, so this year’s event will provide time to share the known history of special seeds, as well as swap growing experiences with the wide variety of seeds grown and saved in our area.
A potluck lunch is a part of this day of fun, swap, & share – you are invited to bring a dish you love to make from your garden bounty or from a favorite family recipe. Everyone is welcome!
9:00am -10:30am
Seeds with Stories Exchange
(pre-registration required)
This session is designed for seasoned seed savers who are encouraged to bring their seeds, corms, or scions along with their stories to share with other seed savers. Pre-registration is required; please email slowfoodpiedmont@gmail.com
11:00am - 1:30pm
Seed Swap and Potluck
(open to all)
Come one and all - first timers and seasoned swappers! Please bring seeds, stories, and/or questions. Also, a dish to share.

In the event of inclement weather, or if Old Salem is closed, the Seed Swap will be cancelled and rescheduled to January 26.
