About Harbury Seed Share Welcome to Harbury Seed Share, a project set up to help our community “Grow your own!” The Group will coordinate: Seed Donations; Seed Requests and Seedling Swaps. The project is a collaboration between Earthworms, the Harbury School Gardening Club, and Harbury Village Library. We are supported by Harbury Parish Council and form part of their efforts to help our community during the current Coronavirus pandemic. Although we’re starting with seed and seedling swaps, eventually we hope to co-ordinate selling plants and produce via local markets. The initiative is open to everyone in Harbury Parish whether they’re 1 or 100. How does the scheme work?
