- **Event Name**: Lansing 3rd annual SEED SWAP! 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 22 Mar, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Sun, 22 Mar, 2026 at 05:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out on behalf of CHOP+STEM, a local event florist in the Lansing area. On March 22, 2026 at 2:00 PM, we’re hosting our 2nd Annual Seed Swap at Molly Chomper in Lansing, NC. This event is a casual, community-driven gathering for gardeners, small homesteaders, and farmers to help each other rebuild after the devastating WNC floods caused by Hurricane Helene, which left many of us without gardens and crops. This year many are still rebuilding.

Last year, we kept it simple: friends gathered with boxes of seeds, and we sat together, sorted through the seeds, and swapped what we had. It was an intimate experience, full of good conversation and connection. This year, I plan to continue that spirit—no pressure, just neighbors helping neighbors. Whether you have seeds to share or are just starting from scratch, everyone is welcome to come, swap, or simply enjoy the community. You don’t need to be an experienced gardener to join us.

We’re also working to preserve the traditions of the mountains by saving Appalachian heirloom seeds that could be lost forever due to the floods. We’re starting a local seed bank for Lansing to ensure that these important crops continue for future generations.
