Throughout the year, thousands of insect pollinators visit the flowers in our gardens. Pollination of a single plant can yield thousands of seeds, all of which have the capacity to become mature plants. Collecting and sowing these seeds is environmental stewardship. You shorten supply chains, reclaim natural heritage, create (urban) green space, and offer next year’s insects more food and shelter! Come celebrate the start of next year’s growing season with us:
Thank you for joining us for Seeds & Cider!
Our 2022 event has concluded. For information on the plants we distributed (including germination requirements) and resources on how to save and sow your own native seeds, see the resources section below.
We had a great turnout for our event with over 80 people in attendance!
