All the free grab bags are gone however the Free seed exchange is still full of seeds! Come by and swap your unwanted seeds out for something different :) the seeds are all back in the main purple seed exchange and not in the egg stand. Please be sure to close the containers tightly.

*update: as of this morning Monday February 17th at 8 am there were 4 bags left but still about 100 misc seed packs. It's very windy today so I have closed the door and placed a rope tie on the doors. If you come by please be sure to re-tie the rope on the doors. The stand is open! I will be unavailable for messages all day due to a procedure so just come on by! There is also 2 dozen eggs available for sale in the cooler!*

The free seed grab bags are ready! You can stop by Thursday, February 13th through Monday the 17th. I'll have the stand open and you can just grab any of the grab bags you'd like. If there's any seeds inside the grab bag that you feel like you won't use You can place them in the metal black basket inside the stand (on the wall to the left). Feel free to also look at any of the miscellaneous seed packs that are on the lower shelf and you may help yourself to these as well. They are all free. If you pull up and the stand doors are closed, you can open them to grab your seeds, I may close the doors on Saturday due to the weather but you can still drive up and grab seeds. Please do not make a mess of the seed baskets as you were grabbing them. They are sorted and each row is a different seed variety. Thank you to those who were able to donate seeds or money to make this happen. Additionally, if you would like to leave any donations for the seeds that you grab, you can place it in the black metal box on the right inside the stand or you can send me a venmo, all donations will go towards doing this event again next year. I hope that all the seeds make it into homes that need them. Happy planting!!

Quite  a few grab bags left (3:45pm) Come on by!

***update all grab bags have been claimed***

Tomorrow 2/14/2023 at 10am I will be setting a table out next to the seed exchange box with seed grab bags. If you are in need of seeds for your garden this year please come grab one. I have 30 available. The bags are first come first served. I can not set any aside so please be sure to come by. Also please only grab one per family to ensure as many people in the community who need them have access to them. Thank you to all our wonderful donors who made this possible. Below is an example of some of the random varieties within the bags (bags are random but all have mostly similar varieties)

Come stop by and grab any seeds you'd like today (9/30) before 9pm. Lots to choose from! With the storm coming this weekend i'll be moving the seeds inside for safety. The exchange will be empty until Tuesday.

If you are seed starting and find yourself with extra seeds left over in your pack feel free to stop by and exchange them for another type at the box. Just make sure your pack of seeds is sealed with a piece of tape or with a dab of stick glue and placed in the seed donations box. I will take care of repackaging them in a properly sealed package :)

We have had an extremely successful first week of exchanges thanks to the community! Thank you to everyone who has stopped by. The seed boxes are fully loaded and there is quite the variety so stop on by. If you come by before the snow is fully melted please be sure to watch your step around the base of the box for the stone garden and planted violas. Also be sure to close the door tightly to protect the inventory 💜 happy seed starting!! 🌻🌱🥕🥒🍅
