I received a nice card and seeds from Heidi in the SS swap from Heidi. Thank you! Suzanne

She sent a beautiful homemade card and nice seeds in the SSS! Thanks so much, Melinda

I asked heidi if she would accept a trade instead of a sase for some flowers. She said she didn't want a whole lot and that she would send out whatever I wanted because she loved to share. SHE WAS NOT JOKING. She has got to be the most generous trader ever. she sent me like 30 packs! thanks Heidi! I sent her some stuff, but nothing in caparison to what she sent me.

Had a wonderful trade of seeds from xiangirl. She sent several
packages of seeds, that I am very glad to have.
Thank you, xiangirl

Just traded with Heidi. Package came fast and in good shape. Was very generous and included some extras on my wants list. Was so pleased. It really made my day! Thanks so much Heidi. Would be happy to trade with her anytime!

Great trade. Planted one type of seed she sent. All were viable. Got growing seedlings now. Sends enevelopes with flower descriptions.

I just had my first seed trade with Heidi and it was great! She was a pleasure to chat with and sent such a nice assortment of seeds. All of them were packed so nicely with color pictures of the plant!

I hope we can trade again Heidi! Thank you!

I am new to the forums and Heidi almost immediately contacted me with lots of advice and good tips! She sent me a package literally filled with seeds to get me started!! I was so excited to open it up and see what she sent! She is a very sweet and generous lady. I offered to send her some money since I didn't have anything to trade and she only requested that I be generous and help someone else out in the future. I absolutely love the idea of paying it forward! Thank you sooooo much, Heidi!!! You made my day!! I can't wait to get started on my new flowers!!

I recently received a beautiful Christmas card and seeds in a Secret Santa Swap.

I was more than blessed by Heidi in the Secret Santa Swap . . . she sent me an abundance of seeds that I had on my Wish List and I can't tell you, as a new trader, how much I appreciate gardeners like Heidi.

Heidi is great, very nice. And her plants are healthy. I'd trade again any time. Thanks Heidi.

(copied from another thread>

Heidi is the sweetest, kindest, and most generous gardener! I went from a complete newbie, to having the most awesome collections of echinacea and perennial flower seeds from Heidi for sase. The package arrived quickly, with cute little seed envelopes adorned with plant images and sowing instructions.

Thank you Heidi! You're the garden angel, and the flowers will carry the joy you spread and bring it forward.

Heidi sent me a beautiful handmade card and envelope filled with flower seeds in the 2014 Secret Santa Seed swap! Thanks so much for thinking of me, can't wait to plant these. Happy new year,
Betsy

Received a beautiful card and seeds with this years secret Santa exchange. Greatly appreciate it.

Paula

Love Heidi's homemade card. She sent me lovely seeds
for the secret santa swap 2014. Thank you

I received a nice cutout card with a very nice set of seeds through the Secret Santa Swap. Thank you

She adopted me as a newbie and wow! She sent me a ton of seed with everything marked clearly. She made everything go so easy for a beginner swapper/gardener. Thanks Heidi for everything!

She also adopted me and I got a wonderful selection of seeds. Thanks so much.

Her seeds are so nicely packed I feel bad opening them.

Another big hug for Heidi for your beautiful card in the 2015 SSS. Inside were seeds for Asclepias syriaca,
Allium aflutunense, A. nigrum, Gaillardia 'Yellow Queen' and Malva
sylvestris! I'm slowing expanding the varieties of milkweed on the menu
in our yard. Both these alliums are new to me as is 'Yellow Queen,' and
I'm looking forward to having a new color of French Hollyhock :) Thank you so much!

What a fun stocking card filled with seeds received in this years SSSS! Too cute! My fav! The seed varieties were amazing. Two varieties of alliums, yellow queen gaillardia, plus purple ruffles basil! All arrived in perfect condition! Thank you sooo much!

Received mint, sweet basil and rosemary from Heidi in the SSS. All were received in perfect condition.

Fun trade from the SSS.

Heidi shared some of her lily of the valley plants with me... Beautiful plants with healthy root systems (which are doing great). She even covered the shipping cost without wanting anything in return...only asked that I continue to spread the joy of generosity by helping someone else. I'm more than happy & willing to to fulfill her request. Heidi is a very kind & an amazing person!

Heidi shared many seeds with me and wonderful other homemade/crafty items in a recent swap. I look forward to future trades as she is so generous and fun-spirited. She is a great person to trade with and get to know! I highly recommend swapping with Heidi! You will be blessed by more than just seeds.

Nice trade with Heidi. Pleasant correspondence. Quick mailing in well padded envelope. Well packaged seeds (with lots of extras) with very informative descriptions on each homemade packet. Packet also has a photo of each plant, which is a plus.

I got a nice selection of seeds from Heidi and jensyen as part of my newbie package.

When I was a newbie several years ago, Heidi offered me a bunch of flower seeds for a Bubble envelope/SASE. I never expected the amount or selection that she sent and was WOW'd like Christmas morning! I will always remember Heidi's generosity. She continues to do so for newcomers, AND sends donations to the GW Newbie Seed Project each season (alot!) for which I am so greatful to help share with other newbies!
THANKS HEIDI!!

I'm a newbie and Heidi was offering flower seeds for SABE. Like everyone else I felt that she was extremely generous and gave a wide variety of seeds. I'm looking forward to growing these in my garden this year. Thank you Heidi!

Heidi is amazing! She is generous with her seeds and her advice, as she spent quite a bit of time coaching this me (the newbie) through my first round robin swap. I also received lots of seeds from her in my newbie seed pack!

AND...have you SEEN her seed packets?? They're a stroke of genius. It's clear that Heidi puts loads of heart into everything she touches. Thanks again, Heidi!

Heidi saw my questions on the newbie thread and took the time not only to answer them, but to message me directly with advice. She also reached out and offered to send me some seeds. I got them today and I can't believe the bounty she shared. There are dozens of seed packets, all with pictures and descriptions! I am looking forward greatly to planting many of these flowers and am very grateful. Excellent person to interact with, and very kind!

I'm so thankful for the excellent seeds and trading I received as part of the New Years swap round robin. I'm grateful for the generosity of each and every member of the swap!

Heidi is so sweet and generous! I was new to the Seed Exchange back in November and she sent a big envelope PACKED with a large variety of seeds, many of them she harvested and placed into perfect little seed packets that she designed herself. The parent plant was pictured on a lot of the packets, which is a really special. I couldn't believe how many were in there, it was better than Christmas. Also in the mailer was a beautiful card handmade by Heidi.

This experience was so wonderful, I am hooked for life and can't wait to harvest my first seeds and give back to the Newbie Exchange. Many of the marigolds she sent are now starting to bloom. =)

Great exchange! Heidi was extremely helpful, generous and great at communicating. She's a real asset to the Seed Exchange!

Great trade with Heidi, she's extremely generous and fun to chat with! thanks again! :)

Just found this page. Heidi packages are so cute and she’s super generous with seeds and advice (I’m a newbie especially to winter sowing). Thanks so much for the swap.
