There were some brilliant seed saving features on BBC Gardeners World this week.

At Campy Growers and Dawson Park Community Garden we are growing tomatoes for seed saving (along with lots of other seeds being saved).

If you'd like to join us in our seed saving adventures, or maybe you would like to set up a seed library for Dundee, get in touch and join us!

It's that time of year again....time to start thinking about next year's growing season and all the seeds we will need!

But don't buy your seeds just yet, wait and see what seeds you can get from our seed swap!

Saturday 31st January, 11am until 1pm at Campy Growers

All seeds welcome for swapping but especially seeds that have been saved this year!

Don't forget to bring your recycled envelopes to take seeds home ✉️

Booking is not essential but it helps us to plan the event and it will remind you when it's happening:

Date for your diary 📅

Our big seed swap is back in January!

Join us at Campy Growers on Saturday 31st January, times tbc.

Now is a great time to start thinking about seeds for the next growing season! If you cannot resist buying seeds we recommend Real Seeds, Vital Seeds and Seeds of Scotland

Often you'll end up with more seeds than you need in a packet, so why not bring along your spares and swap for something you don't have!

Or, bring the seeds you have saved this year to share with others 💕

All seeds welcome, even if they're out of date. Worth a try?

Seed saving can seem complicated - but we want to take the fuss out of preserving your own produce.

We're excited to be offering a series of seed saving webinars in November, as part of our project, funded by the The National Lottery Heritage Fund.

These webinars will help you know when your seed is ready to harvest and how to clean and store your seeds. Book your place via the links below:

🌱Tuesday 4 November, 1-2pm: Getting started with seed saving. gardenorganic.org.uk/events/seed-saving-webinar

🌱Wednesday 19 November, 6-7pm: Drying and storing seeds. gardenorganic.org.uk/events/drying-and-storing-webinar

And find out more about our Sowing Your Seeds project - and how you can contribute heritage seeds - at gardenorganic.org.uk/seed-search.

We heard about a Scottish garlic variety a few years ago and have been hunting for it ever since. Someone sent us a suspected few bulbs of this 'Doocot' garlic! Thanks Tim!

Hopefully in a few years we will have grown more and it will get used to our Dundee climate 🤩🌞

Thanks for being our tomato taste testers! The clear winner of the day was Rosella, that we saved from a lady called Maureen a few years ago. Maureen's Rosella tomatoes will continue to be grown next year for sure!

We are still looking for super tasty beefsteak varieties - if you have any suggestions let us know.

Seeds will be kept for our seed swap in January, watch this space for dates.
