Seed Swap and Share

Seeds are about abundance and connection – and where would we be without them? Come and share the seed love on Valentine’s Day by getting yourself some seeds to start your growing this year. Or bring along some spare seeds that you would like others to grow. We will have our beautiful Seed Kist well-stocked and ready for you. You are welcome to just come and take, no need to bring seeds, but at the same time, all seeds are welcome.

Drop in to the Welcome cabin in the farmyard, no need to book

About the Seed Kist

The Seed Kist has had an adventurous life of sharing seeds across Scotland. It started with the Fife Diet Seed Truck. The Seed Kist travelled all over Scotland in the truck, holding a stash of seeds to give away, plus the seeds gathered along the route in swaps. Then the Common Good Food project (formed by Fergus Walker, Mags Hall and Rob Davidson) picked up the baton, and the Kist, and gave away thousands more free seeds across Scotland. Now the Kist lives with us at Lauriston Farm, as a community resource, storing seeds we’ve saved and been gifted so we can share them onwards with you.

Access Notes

There is one step up into the portacabin. It is a rough compacted stone path from the Toby Carvery car park. The cabin is set on rough grass, just off this path. This will be an informal and chatty gathering, in a relatively small space.

Assistance dogs welcome of course.

There is a spacious, level access, single cubicle, gender neutral toilet in the Community Allotments that participants can use. This is on rough grassy ground, no steps.

There is no on-farm parking, but we can make arrangements for disabled people who need to drive in for access reasons.

Please email contact us if you have any access requests or questions.
