Homesteaders Abuzz with Excitement At Seed & Plant Swap

The Wharton family hosted a Seed & Plant Swap on Thursday, Feb. 12 at the “Tiny but Mighty Homestead,” welcoming about a dozen adults and many children to trade plants, gardening tips, and camaraderie over a shared lunch. In addition to the free seed and plant swapping, visitors could buy Lyci’s Sweet Treats or Teta’s Homegrown Homemade Pickles & Jams. Bees were drawn to the honey and pickled vegetables, and children played or colored while their parents played icebreaker games and talked about plants and homesteading.

“My favorite part of the plant and seed swap was seeing everyone come together, sharing information on some of the plants they knew and playing games,” said Nakeya Wharton. “The turnout was excellent since this was our first time hosting something like this. I pray that the next one is even bigger.”

She also shared an appropriate bible verse- Genesis 1:29 Then God said , “I give you every seed bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it”. They will be yours for food.
