Open every 2 weeks from January 18th for seed collection, also having sorted your seeds bring along all the packets you no longer want and swap, you just might find a gem.
Dates for your diaries and if you’d like to volunteer for a Saturday we’d love hear from you. Many people think it’s a great service, so please come and share a 2 hour morning with us, the customers and staff are lovely. Most people enjoy playing shop and helping others.
