Starting at 12:30pm, each adult attendee can choose up to 5 free packets of seed and children (12 and under) can pick 2 free packets of their very own.

Or come early at 12:00pm and swap up to 10 packets of your saved seed 1-for-1. Check out this document for the guidelines for seed swappers: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZwwYWY_8qRKdyPkSm8F1dTjm_-sbtQB4AZADJUkNZv8/edit?usp=sharing
