🌱THAT'S A WRAP🌱

We would like to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who helped spread the word and came to support this years Bury St Edmunds Seed Swap. For a second year in a row we had an amazing turn out with people queuing to enter the venue. Because of everyone involved and all of your generous donations, we have raised £332.64 for Suffolk Wildlife Trust.

This event could not have gone ahead without joint efforts from Chris Wiley from Bury in Bloom, Chantal from Grow My Wellbeing, Amy from Amy's allotment adventure & Fred From Fothergills UK. We had the most generous seed donations from Fred to help kickstart this years event and fill all of our seed baskets (and some!). We also received support for a second year in a row from Bury St Edmunds Town Council to fund the equipment needed to help us bring this fantastic event to the community.

For your surplus seedings you can Join Bury In Bloom for their brand new Plant Swap at the Quaker meeting house on St John's Street on Saturday 19th April, 11:30 - 15:30. Where all money raised will go towards Bury In Bloom.

Follow us on socials and join our community facebook group as we will be announcing dates for the next Seed Swap event very soon.

Thank you again for all your support, Naomi & Chris 🌱
