Please bring them in a labelled container with the crop type, variety, and year grown.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Why Attend?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Seed shares are important because they connect people to seeds and each other. Seed shares not only bring seeds home to gardeners, but also create the opportunity to steward a pollinated variety for years to come!<\/p>\n<p>In the last century the world has lost over 75% of its edible plant varieties. A network of home gardeners and growers is vital to boost plant diversity \u2013 and that\u2019s why Irish Seed Savers work hard to ensure open-pollinated seeds get into the hands of as many gardeners as possible. By sharing seeds, we are promoting biodiversity and building a more resilient food system.<\/p>\n<p>So come and join us on February 22<sup>nd<\/sup> and begin your seed swap journey!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Children\u2019s Seed Planting Activity<\/li>\n<li>Expert Guided Tours of Heritage Seed Gardens<\/li>\n<li>Caf\u00e9 open 11am \u2013 4.00pm<\/li>\n<li>Amazing food by The Oven vegetarian food truck!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To facilitate ease of numbers the Community Seed Share event is scheduled in two separate time slots; 11am-1.30pm and 1.30pm \u2013 4pm.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets \u20ac6 \/ Free for Supporters and Children &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/irishseedsavers.ie\/shop\/product-category\/workshops\/events-2\/\">Book your ticket here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Important Information:\u00a0<\/strong>Please note that this event is\u00a0<strong>Park and Ride only<\/strong> from <strong>Scariff Mart V94 YD98<\/strong> to Irish Seed Savers via a <strong>FREE BUS<\/strong>\u00a0service \u2013 a short 5 minute journey.
