5th Annual Seed Swap, March 20, 2021
Thanks to everyone who contributed to making MGACRA’s  5rd Annual Seed Swap a success!  COVID-19 challenged us to do some things differently this year.  For the first time, the Seed Swap was held:
  • outside
  • in King George County
  • in March instead of on National Seed Swap Day
  • with no speakers
But if nothing else, Master Gardeners are adaptable to changing conditions.  You, our volunteers, were all terrific. Between the cold, wind, and spread out venue everyone stepped up to cover their posts as if we had always done it this way.  When the wind kicked up everyone mobilized to chase down flying seed packets.  We had a fairly good turn out and a lot of satisfied customers.  It was especially great to see everyone again in person, abet with a mask.
A special thanks to Tracy Blevins for fabulous public speaking, writing, photography and technology skills,  promoting the Seed Swap and all of our MG programs. Also to Arlene Wilkinson who handled the seeds and Judy and Tom Brooks for site prep and coordinating with other non-profits.
