	We went to this last year. It was awesome. I am pretty new to gardening and appreciated the free seeds and valuable information. Thank you. We will be there again this year.

	I was a first time gardener last year. I went to this and not only got enough seeds for my entire garden, but got most of the knowledge I needed to plant and care for the plants. I had the best garden on the block and the most tomatoes I had ever seen in a garden. It was a wonderful learning experience and I will be back this time for sure with all of my friends.

	Tracy, Not sure when the next seed swap will be. Consider joining Transition Whatcom's social networking site and ask your question in either the "Asks and Offers" group, or the seed savers group. http://transitionwhatcom.ning.com
