About Selsey Seed Swap & Plant
Are you a keen gardener or just getting started?
Grow Selsey Seed & Plant Swap is a great opportunity to share, learn, and pick up something new for your garden.
Bring along your spare seeds, seedlings, or plants to swap, or just come for a chat and some gardening inspiration.

Most of the garden is accessible and dogs are welcome!
About Grow Selsey and The Hidden Garden
Grow Selsey is a project which involves local people in a variety of sustainable gardening projects in and around the Selsey area.
We run The Hidden Garden, a community garden, designed to help and inspire people to become involved with growing fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers along with providing spaces for wildlife to thrive.
Looked after by a dedicated team of volunteers we work with local schools, adults with learning needs and host Forest School projects.
We also offer the local community a kitchen waste recycling scheme using our Ridan Food Waste composter to create material to feed our community garden.
