Did you mean r/gardening?

I thought it'd be easier to find gardeners in r/boston than Bostonians in r/gardening.

There’s a seed swapping group that I’ve seen at the Somerville winter farmers market on Saturdays, you might be interested in joining them

Unfortunately I only have herbs and marigold seeds.

Try posting on select groups on Facebook. Maybe there are Boston equivalents but there are groups like:

-Somerville plant exchange (have to be willing to pick up in Somerville though)

-Cambridge Buy Nothing (people get rid of random stuff but I've often seen plant/gardening exchanges as well)

Best of luck

Ah marigold, the greatest sales lie, claiming to be the "best" to attract pollinators..

Unfortunately bok choi cannot grow in our climate.

I've had great luck growing it the last 3 years.
