Programme nearbyFood & GardenTodmordenShare seeds through a neighbourhood propagation stationLeave seedlings for the next gardener Propagation stations are simple shelves or cold frames where neighbours drop spare seedlings and pick up what they need. Incredible Edible groups use them to keep spring momentum without a single gatekeeper. What you can do - Set up a labelled shelf with a "take one, leave one" sign using the propagation station guide - Stock tomatoes, herbs, and pollinator flowers at the height of sowing season - Pair the station with a WhatsApp or noticeboard so people know when fresh trays arrive How it works A host garden or community centre offers shade, water, and a daily check-in. Contributors write the variety and sow date on each tray; takers replace with something else when they can. Why it matters Seedlings are the bottleneck for new growers. A propagation station turns spare windowsill space into shared abundance.seedsseedlingspropagation +2
Programme nearbyFood & GardenMunichOrganise a community seed library and annual seed in MunichOrganise a community seed library and annual seed in Munich The Solawi network seed sovereignty pages promote community seed libraries: labelled jars, simple borrowing rules, and an annual swap where growers trade what saved true in their soil in Munich. What you can do - Read the Saatgut (seed) resources and pick varieties suited to Munich's climate - Host a winter swap at a library or community centre with variety notes and sowing tips - Link your library to a Solawi farm so field trials feed back into the catalogue How it works Stewards catalogue donations, check germination, and enforce "grow, save, return" rules. Swaps stay small and neighbourly so beginners leave with something they can actually sow in spring. Why it matters Community seed stocks protect diversity industrial catalogues skip and keep adaptation local.seedslibraryswap +2
