I
don't think anyone has stepped-up to organize a seed
swap.



I'm available to help, not to lead.



If no one is able/willing to Pick a date, secure a room and
organize volunteers (minimum other years someone also got
seed donations and educators together) ... if none of that
is happening ... I would ask Phili if we could host a
sustainable Orcas Island (soi) meeting to swap seeds.




Who else wants this to happen?

fyi It can be 4 days between my answering emails (-5997)

Blessings,
