No seeds to swap? No problem!
All are welcome to come and take home some native seeds to get started. Choose from over 75 plant species suitable for many different site conditions. Knowledgeable volunteers will be on hand to give guidance and help answer questions.
Bringing seeds to share? Please pre-register any seeds you wish to bring so we can prepare plant care signs in advance. Or just drop us a line and let us know at [email protected]. Thank you!
Please bring your native plant seeds, cleaned and labeled in paper bags or envelopes. Drop them off at the Seed Registration Table on the day of the event. Find more information on seed collecting and cleaning at this MHV WO newsletter article by Logan Fisher.
