Seed & Plant Swap

Get ready to swap seeds, plants, materials and stories by participating in the Cumberland Seed Commons Seed and Plant Swap! Seed and Plant swaps are a fun way to meet other farmers and gardeners, learn tips and tricks about your favorite seeds or plants, and find out what crops and natives do well in your area. Whether you’re a seasoned grower or a fresh sprout just starting out, this free event is the perfect opportunity to cultivate connections, preserve heirloom genetics, and take home some unique treasures for your garden. Bring any seeds, nuts, plants or cuttings left from last season’s inventory and garden, cuttings from your overgrown plants, or extra plants that need a good home, and take home some new seeds and plants for your 2025 garden! 

This event is free to participants and vendors! You can come anytime between 2 pm-5pm with vendors advised to set up by 1:30pm. This event will be held on the Atrus Ballew Farm, 265 Charlie Norris Rd., Richmond, KY. The seeds and plants can be sold, given away for free and used as barter or swap. If you have seeds and plants to offer at the Swap, please bring your own table, chairs and tent. If you can’t make it to this event but have seeds or plants you’d like to see go to a good home, send them to us by mail or arrange to drop seeds and plants by the farm.
