Semences Turns Seed Swapping Into a Biodiversity Network

semences.app Observed source

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free exchange platform where gardeners in France, Belgium, and Switzerland share reproducible seeds, plants, and heritage varieties.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-16 issue.

Field notes

Semences uses a token-mediated exchange rather than sales: new members receive five tokens, spend one when requesting a variety, and return to the system by sharing seeds themselves. The public catalogue already displays entries including Pavot Rose, Sichuan pepper, mustard, phacelia, sunflower, cosmos, nasturtium, and calendula. A map is provided for locating participating gardeners across France, Belgium, and Switzerland.
