    There used to be a really cool project called Free seed ring earth, that distributed seeds for the cost of shipping, with seeds aquired through donations. Not sure if it’s still active, but I loved participating some 15-20 years ago.

      my city has a native plant association that will ship you seeds for free, and has multiple free plant giveaways each year

      it’s a wonderful thing. I’ve bought from them for the past few years

      We had one locally. Mostly heirloom tomatoes and other vegetables. Some would even meet up to share cuttings they just got going. Some asshole Karen complained that they could, in theory, be sharing weed seeds. The owner of the site and its less than 100 members just decided to shut down. Im pretty sure they just got each other phone numbers, but I wasn’t cool enough to get on the list. (T_T) I still got that rose bush.
