SEEDY Saturday, the annual seed swap is back at Timsbury.

In its 16th year, organisers promise the annual seed swap is bigger than ever this year.

The much-loved seed swap, potato day and green fair is making a welcome return to Timsbury Conygre Hall on Saturday, March 14, from 10 am to 2 pm.

Whether a seasoned grower or a complete beginner there’s something for everyone at the annual fair.

The beating heart of the event is the seed swap itself, where visitors bring their home-grown seeds to share and go home with something exciting and new.

Keep an eye out for rare heritage varieties that have all but vanished from commercial production like the wonderful Veitch's Pea, or locally developed gems like the Farmborough Bean, grown and selected over generations to thrive in this very area.

Every seed saved and swapped helps keep these precious varieties alive for future growers.

Visitors can browse stalls bursting with seeds, potatoes, spring bulbs, fruit bushes and trees, cottage perennials, herbs, homemade produce, crafts, plant-based products and gifts.

It's a full and wonderful day out for the whole family with free expert talks, crafts to keep the kids busy, and the much-loved kitchen café.

Event organiser Sam Ross said: "Seedy Saturday is one of those rare events where everyone from experienced horticulturalists to complete beginners feels right at home.

“It's a joyful celebration of community, nature and the love of growing, and after 16 years, the enthusiasm just keeps on growing! Come along, bring your seeds, and join us for a brilliant day.”

Seedy Saturday is organised by a small but passionate team of local volunteers, and made possible thanks to the generous support of sponsors Pennard Plants and Beans and Herbs.

Entry is just £2 for adults, with free entry for under 16s. Find out more at www.seedysaturday.org.uk
