Join us for the Livingston County Seed Swap on January 22nd from 4:30PM to 6:30PM at the Livingston County Extension Office in Pontiac, IL (1412 S Locust St, Pontiac, IL 61764).  This will be a come-and-go event to swap vegetable seeds, scion (fruit tree) wood, native seeds, network with other plant and garden enthusiasts, and dream of what’s possible this growing season.
Materials on how to start seeds will be provided.   

If you plan to attend, and take seeds home, please bring seeds to donate and trade! Seeds should not be more than 2 years old. Seeds brought to trade should be heritage or heirloom. Saved F1 hybrid seeds will present problems to growers - please do not bring those. Seeds brought to trade should be in clear plastic bags, re-sealable paper envelops, etc., and should be labeled clearly so seed swappers can read.

Native seeds will be provided by Wild Ones, Prairie Moon, and AB Hatchery.

Master Gardener volunteers and Extension staff will be available to answer your seed starting questions. There will also be an informal seed starting equipment demo station. Paper envelopes or plastic bags will be provided to take home seeds. This event is free to attend but registration is required.

If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate, please contact
