Community Seed Swap

Join Tilth Alliance, the Friends of Rainier Beach Urban Farm & Wetlands and the Garden Hotline for an afternoon seed swap! Bring your extra seeds, your garden questions and your appetite.

What is a community seed swap?  A family-friendly gathering for gardeners of all experience levels to share seeds and gardening resources and connect with each other. Bring your garden-saved seeds, excess seeds from opened packets or just yourself if you’re just getting started!

The seed swap tables will have all kinds of seeds for your edible, medicinal and floral gardens. We welcome you to add your labeled extra seeds to the mix and take lots home, too. We will also be sharing potted native plants from our community nursery and live stake cuttings from wetland plants like thimbleberry, salmonberry and ninebark. There will be other family activities and educational information to share, and the Garden Hotline will be there to answer all your gardening questions right on the spot.

Make sure to bring your appetite too! We will have seed-themed snacks to share – Tuscan bean soup and chia seed pudding.
