Seed Swap Field Experience

Gather, learn, and grow with a unique seed swap field experience field trip to Lawrence! In partnership with our local Seed Swap committee, receive education from experts on how to harvest, clean, and store seeds.

This is a great opportunity to connect and learn from the best in the field so you can start or grow your own seed bank in preparation for the Manhattan Seed Swap on February 1, 2026.
