You don't have to bring seed to participate and

You are welcome to take as much give-away seed as is
available to grow this year.

Participants may provide seeds for sale, exchange, and
give-away.
You can also sell rare seed while giving common seed,
it's up to you to be creative and make this worth your
while (people can share rare seed with an agreement
for fresh seed next year)
Easy set-up: Individual tables and chairs are
provided.
Please bring seeds you have to share with others in
clearly labeled, easy to open and close containers,
preferably glass jars, and have cultural info/history
available. Only organic seed free of disease,
infestation, or industrial gene manipulation is
permitted.

If you plan to share dinner, please bring a kosher
vegetarian or dairy dish or beverage ready to be
served (cheesecake welcome!) Wine, etc is allowed but
overdrinking is not as this is a family-friendly
event. Some outside and downwind areas are available
for smoking. Bring your own dish, bowl, cup/mug, fork,
etc and there will be a place to wash them when
finished. If you don't bring your own, reusable
dinnerware will be available for sale.

Scholarships are available at the level supported by
other participants who register and then add extra
funds to help provide scholarships. If you'd like to
help others who don't have 50nis or any trade goods to
participate, thanks and kol hakavod!
