2nd Annual UCCVF Free Seed Swap

45 Walker Road, Wayne, PA

That’s right we have FREE vegetable, herb, and flower SEEDS!  Okay, this is a seed swap but you don’t have to bring seeds to swap.  We have plenty to give away thanks to a generous donation from the Home Depot in Fraser.
 
But wait, there’s more!  We aren’t just a Seed Swap!
 
Our bakers will be cooking up some delicious baked goods.  Relax at our “cafe” and share garden stories and questions with our home gardening experts from
We are assembling some garden raffle bags with fun, garden related, stuff for the whole family.
 
Donations Accepted
 
Any money raised will be donated to our tiny community garden.  In turn, produce from our community garden is donated to the Great Valley Food Cupboard.
 
We hope to see you at the 2nd Annual UCCVF Seed Swap!
 
Follow this event on Facebook or EventBrite (tickets are free but an RSVP would be nice).

Community Garden 2024

UCCVF Community Garden 2024

We planted our seeds (and plants) and helped them grow!

We started most of our tomatoes indoors from seeds along with some peppers and eggplants.  Our cukes, peas, beans, spinach, beets were directly sowed into the garden.  We have mint and companion plants planted in and around our garden to try to keep pests away.  Our garden may be tiny but we contributed over 200lbs of fresh produce to the Great Valley Food Cupboard, again, this season.

All of our seeds were from our 2024 1st Annual Free Seed Swap!

A Little History

In March 2023 UCCVF we started our Community Garden.  We decided that almost all (99%) of our produce would be donated to the Great Valley Food Cupboard.  Our volunteers take turns weekly to care for all of the beds in the garden.   

In our first growing season our garden grew from a lawn to just under 100 sq. ft. of raised garden beds.   From our tiny garden we donated over 200 lbs. of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, kale, radishes, basil, and beans for 15 weeks during the summer of 2023.

July 2023 - our garden's first season

Our 1st Seed Swap

In February 2024 we had our first ever seed swap!  What a lot of fun meeting other gardeners in our area.  Lots of seeds were swapped.  We had baked goods and beverages and a cafe so you could sit, relax, and tell tall garden tales.

Did you plant you seeds, yet?  Here are some photos of our tomatoes loving their hydroponic growing stations.
