Default Seed Greed

Does anyone have any good ideas as to what I can do with lots of spare packets of flower & veg. seeds? I seem to have collected loads as I can't resist magazines with free packs on the front & offers with '& 5 free packs of seeds' attached to them. My eyes are bigger than my belly as I don't have room to grow that many, some might not be viable anymore but I don't want to throw them away. A few years ago I sent some to a school & a charity which had asked for them in a garden mag. but I didn't keep the addresses. Do charity shops accept them?

I listed my glut on here and swapped with many for seeds I needed. It's also possible to sell them via ebay.

Ask Nicely and GYO may be able to put you in touch with schools SueA, failing that, if you look on Northern polytunnels site, they have a link to a school that had a new tunnel openen by Mr Titchmarsh, contact them as they seem active.

Thanks, I phoned round my local primary schools & found one which has a 'Ground Force' after school club so I took most of the seeds round to them, they seemed specially keen on a sunflower growing competition as I had a few packs of them. I've put the rest on the Seed Swap section of Grapevine.
