Seed Exchange

The AGS organises one of the biggest society seed exchanges in the world. The main distribution takes place in December and January and surplus seed is sold later at shows.

2024-2025 Seed Exchange

The AGS Seed Exchange takes place every year. Many thousands of varieties of seed are donated by members from August to November. These are checked, catalogued and packeted by volunteers to make up the seed packets which are posted out to members. The seed list is made available to all members before the end of November online or by post by request.  Members can then order seed from the list. The seed orders from donors are picked first and we aim to post out most of these before Christmas.  The seed orders from non-donors are then picked and sent out mainly in January. When all the main orders are completed, we pick and send out orders for surplus seed.

The seed list will this year go live on the website on 30th November 2024.  Seed orders will be made up from December to January.  On line ordering is the recommended way to order your seed.  The internet system gives access to pictures of the plants, which is a very popular feature.

The online system saves a lot of time for the volunteers and the staff at Pershore, so we request you to use this system if at all possible. 

If you do not have internet access, please don't worry as your order will be given the same priority as we allow time for post to reach all areas of the world before we start making up orders and priority is always given to donors, as without them, there would be no Seed Exchange.
