Hull Seed Swap 2023 hosts over 300 people!
At 10:30am on Saturday 11th February, we opened the doors of Hull Seed Swap at Jubilee Central after a few years’ hiatus due to the pandemic.
Throughout the day, we hosted stalls from local community organisations, had delicious food provided by TimeBank Kitchen, and ran family friendly make and take sessions delivered by #WeMadeThisHull. In addition, we gathered local and national experts to speak about key issues relating to food and growing, and launched the Hull Growers’ Handbook 2023.
We were very pleased that 323 people came along, swapped seeds and found out more about the great work that is happening in Hull.
You can download the new Hull Growers Handbook here.
