Seed swaps have been around for a looooong time. Even indigenous groups and farmers would share seeds to grow their crops or medicinal plants. Today, seed swaps are commonly organized into large events with one of the most popular being "Seedy Saturday" across Canada. The first Seedy Saturday dates back to the early 90's in Vancouver courtesy of Roy Forster of the Van Dusan Botanical Gardens. 500+ people showed up for it!Calgary's 'Seedy Saturday'
