Seedling Swap

People who have excess seedlings (whether grown themselves or acquired elsewhere) can swap for other seedlings, or simply donate them. Those who are interested in getting seedlings but do not have seedlings to trade can bring a non-perishable food item as payment during the swap. The donated food will be given to WUSA’s Food Support Service. Any leftover seedlings will be donated to a community organization.
