The Rutgers Master Gardener Volunteer Program is incredibly excited to host our 1st Annual Seed Swap Social for both our experienced local growers and our newcomers to the growing community. This festive event will provide gardeners the opportunity to:
• Collect all types of seeds for the 2027 Growing Season
• Share their most successful, rare and favorite seeds with their peer community
• Plan their spring seed starting and summer gardens
• Learn through informational displays and demonstration tables on effective strategies and tips for growing herbs, vegetables, flowers and native plants hosted by RMG
• Create community bonds with our fellow growers
How You Can Support:
• Send this flyer to friends, businesses and social clubs and ask them to share.
• Start saving your seeds in paper envelopes w/plant, variety and date. Include seeds you may not have used this past year.
• Drop seeds in Seed Box starting October 15th, 2026 at Rutgers Cooperative Extension office, 355 Court House South Dennis Road, Cape May Court House, NJ 08210.
