Seed and Plant Swaps

Ever thought about growing your own food but weren’t sure where to start?

Or maybe you’ve got extra seedlings or seeds to share?

The Castlewellan Seed & Plant Swap is the perfect place to dig in! Held seasonally in the Lower Square, these friendly community events are a great way to swap plants, pick up gardening tips, and connect with others who love growing their own food.

Whether you bring something to trade or just come to learn, you’re sure to go home with something to grow.

Why It Matters

Growing your own food isn’t just rewarding—it’s good for the environment too! Homegrown produce cuts down on packaging waste, reduces food miles, and supports biodiversity. Plus, by growing food suited to our local conditions, we can build resilience against extreme weather and climate challenges.

Get Involved

Each event is a chance to meet local gardeners, swap stories and advice, and discover just how fun and easy growing your own food can be. Keep an eye out for future swap dates and come along—your next harvest starts here!

Look out for upcoming plant swap dates on our WhatsApp group and website!
