Kentucky coffeetree Kentucky coffeetree

Hey! I'm working on an experiment trying to grow new varieties of Kentucky coffeetree, particularly edible ones. To be honest I don't have much to offer in the way of seeds at the moment but I'm working on an insect resistant kale variety and gathering lots of tree nuts.

If anyone has dry seeds from their area I'd greatly appreciate it. If they've got weird charactaristics or high yield of pods even better, I'm trying to amass a very diverse population.

On the off chance anyone has any of the other Gymnocladus tree seeds from Asia, that would also be welcome!


Norfolk tomato Norfolk tomato

Hello everyone. If anyone is interested, I have some of the norfolk GMO tomato seeds. These are a cherry tomato that have been engineered to have higher contents of anthocyanins, an anticancer antioxidant. If you let the fruit ripen, the fruit is a very dark purple/black. The color is so startling that people have asked what I'm adding to the recipe, because they think they are cherries. Flavor wise, they taste like a typical cherry tomato, but are a bit low acid. The dark purple trait could be bred into a larger variety if you wanted to.

I'm mostly looking to send via SASE and can only do it with people in the US.

Discussion about Seed germination and gene selection

I was wondering how credible is this or has anyone tried it? In short it states that if you put seeds to grow in bad soil like sand for example then move it after 2-4 weeks to good soil, it will trigger the best genes in the seed to grow into a super plant tree. Any thoughts?

Looking for Zines! or other informational resources to distribute Looking for Zines! or other informational resources to distribute

Hi! I'm an urban farmer/seed steward in zone 10. I work on an urban farm/food forest that does not specialize in commercial sale of produce but rather serves the community as a field trip site, gardening classes etc. Intense urbanization in my region threatens this site and will likely be demolished within 5 years. I decided that I'd use my platform and position to organize a seed swap event + tour to highlight the importance of such places. I want everyone to walk away with tangible resources that inspire them.

That being said, I am looking for zines that touch on themes of seed saving, agroecology, traditional ecological knowledge, and urban agriculture.

ISO family heirlooms and storied heirlooms

Hello all,

I am searching for a very particular type of seed/plant cutting: family heirlooms and heirlooms collected from special places serendipitously. I’d love to trade for your mom’s zinnia seeds that she’s been saving and refining for decades. Or the cuttings of your family’s fig tree which was brought from Italy when they immigrated to the US. Or lilac bush seeds you picked off the ground while visiting Chicago. I’d love to hear the story and try to preserve the genetics. I’m interested in vegetables, fruits, and flowers. I have 300+ types of seed/plants - mostly vegetables and fruit. Mostly everything is uncommon. Please message me if you’re interested — I am confident we can find something satisfactory but it is too much for me to list it all here.

USA trades only please.

Thank you 🙏

I have a small collection of peppers along with some other varieties of vegetables, flowers, and grains. I have a spreadsheet with about 60 varieties I can share if interested. If you are interested in breeding populations of peppers I have lots of those as well.

I am looking primarily for grains, bush beans, and tomatoes.



Eastern Hemlock seedlings or saplings? NWPA area Eastern Hemlock seedlings or saplings? NWPA area

I have a 2 acre plot of land that was formerly farmland and I'm trying to get a few Eastern hemlock/Canadian hemlock trees going there. The problem is that this time of year it's hard to find anybody who has seedlings or saplings in stock, and because it is the state tree here in pennsylvania, we're not allowed to go to the forest and pilfer a few of the smaller ones. The game wardens really take offense to that. But if anybody has any of these seedlings or saplings that they would like to divest themselves of, I would be eternally grateful for the opportunity to rehome them.


I have a small amount flower seeds, wondering if someone would like to do a little trade. I have a small amount flower seeds, wondering if someone would like to do a little trade.

Not much of what I planted came up ( call me plant killer!). Just kidding sort of.

Some seeds I ordered were no good. I got zinnia, love lies bleeding, and love in a mist to come up.

I have what looks to be a lot of love lies bleeding and a little love in a mist.

I would appreciate anyone who could spare some seeds for next year.

Want: Whatever you want to share, the school garden always needs a good variety of seeds. But you can also SASE /venmo a stamp/promise to pay it forward.

Each stamp can send ~3000 seeds



[Trade] Cool heirlooms [Trade] Cool heirlooms

I'm a new tomato seed collector looking for cool strains of tomatos.

I have carbon heirlooms, pink belgian heirlooms as well as old german and yellow heirlooms. Also heirloom super sweet 100s.

I can also provide wild blackberry and black raspberry seeds that grow especially well in colder climates.

I want to start a collection of tomato seeds so I can figure out what grows the best on my grandparents' land.

Thanks for the help
