🌱 Seed Swap at The Knotty Wick 🌱
Groceries are expensive—and for many families, the cost keeps climbing. Growing even a portion of your own food is one of the simplest ways to offset that expense while building real food security.
A single packet of seeds can turn into weeks or months of meals. Herbs, greens, tomatoes, peppers—these aren’t just plants, they’re savings, nourishment, and independence. Growing your own food isn’t about perfection or self-sufficiency overnight. It’s about sufficiency: knowing you can meet some of your needs with your own hands.
There’s also something powerful about children seeing where food actually comes from. Not a shelf. Not a truck. But soil, water, patience, and care. Teaching kids to grow food builds respect for the earth, appreciation for labor, and confidence in their ability to provide and contribute.
Seed swaps make this even more accessible—no big startup costs, just community sharing resources and knowledge.
If you’ve been looking for a practical way to save money, slow down, and reconnect as a family, this is a beautiful place to start 🌿
Seed swapping! Josh from Base Camp North donated some local tree seeds to the event! Looking forward to collaborating in the future on some events!
