Seed Swap is a community for sharing seeds between gardeners! Please be responsible and kind when swapping.
Welcome! This is a place to swap seeds with fellow Redditors. Simple rules:
Post a new thread stating what you have to swap (or give away!)
Post a comment in a thread if you're interested in what the OP has, with a list of your offerings. OP should reply in thread and then PM commenters to seal the deal.
If your thread fails to appear, please message the moderators, as the spam queue tends to be over eager on occasion.
Policy on "illegal" seeds: to avoid exposing our users to law enforcement, we will actively remove posts advertising currently illegal seeds, such as cannabis. If it is legal in your country or state to trade these seeds, please post in local forums rather than here.

Long shot, but does anyone have these seeds? I am about to purchase them but thought I would ask the community. I can swap other vegetable seeds and some flower seeds.
I have lots of native VA seeds, looking to get zinnia seeds of whatever varieties to make a friend happy. I have more of some things than others but happy to share what I have!

I am looking for some good fresh mint seeds. I have many different types of seed to trade. DM me.
We are growing a Monarch/butterfly garden and live in a desert area of CO. Wewould love some of these seeds to add to our patch. We don't need a ton. Thanks for sharing!
I was mid-trade with the user dawter, looks like the account is deleted just now (keeps switching between showing the name or deleted). If you come back, message me! You never sent your address.
Looking to purchase some seeds from a real live human being. Unfortunately I have tried purchasing hellebore seeds from SIX different sellers with supposed credible websites. All 6 attempts were sad mislabeled seeds. Heck, one order sent me Squash seeds instead of hellebore. So please if anyone has any leads I would greatly appreciate it!!! Much love to you all!
I have African squash, which is from DRC. It is a butternut type that can handle the heat and is very sweet and stores for more than a year. I also have Yacon corms I can send you.
A few who lost houses in the LA fires are looking for flower seeds, especially native varieties. Eaton Fire was 3 miles close to us and quite a few friends lost houses or are displaced. Vegetable gardening is not recommended for now.
This is the stop gap arrangement until they get permissions and clearance for the next steps.
I have been trying to help with what I have and sourcing. I’ll also post this separately.
If you have excess please let me know.
I’ve got copious amounts of native seeds I collected this fall AND I’ve got seed packets for plants I’m phasing out. I’m going hard on native gardening lately and am willing to rehome some nonnative seeds to responsible gardeners in the US. All seeds are 3 or less years old and should be plenty viable.

Anyone get any good swaps today? No local swaps near me today unfortunately.
Hello,
Searching for the Ethiopian plant, koseret. You kind find it online anywhere. Rootstock preferable, but I can work with seed. Plenty to trade! Thanks!
I'm not looking for vegetable seeds. I'm just looking to see where to buy common and unusual flower seeds. I know that most seed selling sites will include vegetables so that's okay. 😊Thank you for any help that you can give me!🩷
Not easy to find so figured I check here.
Last shot at swaps before I buy. Looking for orangelo thyme and blot peppers. Anybody up for a swap? Can do SASE or have LOTS of tomato and peppers varieties, about 25 basils, and then big assortment of most other veggies and herbs. Let me know what you’re looking for!
Hope this is allowed! See you over there! R/UKseedswap

I'm all good on vegetables. If anything, this community gave me way more than I needed in vegetables, so I'm just sharing the wealth. Shoot me a message if you see anything you want in my list (even if you might not have anything to offer in return).
I'll be excited to hear from each and every one of you!
First seed swap and so excited for this community. Located in 7a. I have:
Herb - Tulsi Basil/Holy Basil - Tulsi makes a delicious tea and simple syrup. It’s prolific. I couldn’t keep up with it all summer.
Flower - Toothache/Buzz Button - my favorite flower to grow. It’s grows like a weed and has a wild looking flower. Great low growing flower for garden edges and adds a unique pop. The flowers are also edible and used a lot for cocktails since the flower makes your mouth go numb for about 5-10 min.
Vegetable - Jalapeño
Greens - Arugula/Rocket
Herb - Salad Burnet - this herb has to be used as soon as its cut or its gets a bitter taste but is amazing in sauces/salad dressings/garnish. It’s has a super strong fresh cucumber flavor. Easy grower.
Herb - Shisho/Perilla - grows similar to Basil and was amazing this past summer. It’s used a lot in Asian dishes and HIGHLY recommend marinating/pickling in soy sauce and adding to stir frys and rice bowls.
Herb - Dill
Vegetable - Purple Top Turnips
I’m not sure if we can trade bareroot/Shrubs/bulbs/spores here but can remove if necessary:
Want:
Flower - Cleome/Spiderplant
Flower - Lisianthus - Balboa Blue Rim
Flower - Lisianthus - Megalo

Flower - Dahlia - any type
Flower - fritillaries melagris
