The Natural Energy Company X Forgan Arts Centre: Community Seed Swap

Date added: Fri 28 Jun 2024

 

We are beyond excited to announce a wonderful collaboration that’s blossoming right here in our community! Thanks to the generous donation of seeds from @forgan_arts_centre, we are thrilled to refresh our Community Seed Swap initiative. The seed swap aims to inspire everyone to get out into their gardens and make sure no seeds go to waste.
