Grower to grower, one variety at a time.
Every season, growers end up with more seeds than they can sow. Capsi’s Seed Exchange turns that surplus into a community. If you’re growing a variety, you can offer your spare seeds to other members — and when you’re hunting for something specific, you can find growers who have it and reach out directly.
Capsi is the matchmaker, not the middleman: we introduce two growers and give them a private space to talk. How the seeds change hands — a trade, a gift, postage — is entirely between you. There’s no checkout, no fees, no shipping to manage in the app.
From My Garden, put spare seeds up for a variety you’re actually growing — add quantity, harvest year, and any notes on isolation or provenance.
Browse seeds by variety, or open the world map to see who’s offering what, filtered by country.
Start a private, one-to-one conversation with the grower and sort out the details together.
