Big Plant Swap
Saturday 1st June 2019
10am to 1pm
Free admission – all welcome
Newsome Scout Hall, Newsome Road South, Huddersfield HD4 6JJ
Take your pick from hundreds of plants – great for growers, super for sharers.
You can choose from:
Vegetables
Salads
Herbs
Fruit
Wildlife-friendly flowers
You’re very welcome to bring along plants, seedlings, cuttings or seeds to swap – but you don’t need to bring something to be able to take something (you can make a donation to Growing Newsome in exchange for your plants).
Lots more to enjoy…
Beekeeping advice and demonstration hive from the Huddersfield and District Bee Keeping Association.
Seed Swap – vegetable seeds to swap or buy.
Children’s craft activities.
Stalls, including local produce on sale.
Plant some seeds to grow on your windowsill.
Tea, coffee and home made cakes.
Information about growing your own food.
Find out about local projects and events.
Local food lunch:
served 12 noon to 1pm
Enjoy a healthy lunch at Newsome Scout Hall – with recipes for you to take home. We’ll be serving a selection of tasty salads (including warm salads) from our Spring salad bar, plus a fruit pudding.
We ask for a small donation to cover the costs of making your lunch.

It’s Volunteers Week
Want to join our friendly community of food growers? We’re looking for volunteers to help look after our Community Allotment and to help organise our community events. Please come along to our Plant Swap to meet other volunteers, find out how you can get involved, and celebrate 10 years of Growing Newsome.
