As I live in a country where we have far too much I would be happy to buy a few packets to send to those who don't have enough.Would this be defeating the object in some way.

Also,things die when I try to grow them so they have no chance of forming seeds.

I thought this was an interesting project that I had not heard of before.

Youth Container Gardening Project

Patrick Harry has set up a Youth Container Gardening Project in Malawi and would love to receive seeds saved from the fruit and vegetables you grow or purchase.

All you have to do before mailing your seeds is three simple steps:

* Rinse your saved seeds with water

* Leave them to dry (not on a piece of paper because this sticks!)

* Sort the seeds by species and put in a labelled envelope

Post your seeds

Once your seeds are sorted and ready to be sent, please post to:

Patrick Harry

C/o Martha Harry

Theatre for Change

British Council

P. O BOX 30222

Lilongwe 3

Malawi.

It doesn’t matter how small your contribution is, all seeds are appreciated.
