List of market stalls Reclaim the Seeds seed fair 2017

The list of organisations and gardeners and others below who will have a stall at the seeds fair in Nijmegen on March 4th is taking shape. We expect some more names and there will again be tables where everybody can exchange seeds.
We do have some conditions that should be met by the people running a market stall and other participants.

VELT is the Vereniging voor Ecologisch Leven en Tuinieren (the association for ecological lifestyles and gardening). The organisation gives lectures on organic gardening and on propagating seeds. By placing orders as a group VELT wants to ensure that a broad selection of organic seeds is available for everyone and thus promote ecological seed cultivation and genetic diversity in gardens. VELT supports those who want to spread the message of the ecological body of ideas. Both the Belgian and the Dutch divisions of VELT will be in Nijmegen for the seed fair and their stall will contain a seed cabinet with a large selection of organic spice- and vegetable seeds. Furthermore the stall will offer a large number of VELT publications in the area of organic food and ornamental and vegetable gardening, a sowing calendar, and books and games for the children.

Free exchange tables

Not everyone can or wants to fill an entire stand. For people who don't have that many seeds there will be exchange-tables available. Here people can display their seeds, preferably with some useful information attached to it (what it is, and when and how you plant it). Hybrid seeds are not meant to be displayed here. Also for this table the conditions mentioned below are applicable. Be honest if the seeds are a couple of years old, so you can avoid disappointments.

Also when you want to participate in the free exchange tables is would be good to have a look at the page with general conditions for stall holders and participants.
