Sharing knowledge, food, and plenty of seeds!
Sharing knowledge, food, and plenty of seeds!
Seedy Saturday PEC is a fun, free event where you can swap and exchange seeds, get exciting varieties that other seed savers are sharing, attend workshops and talks, meet vendors and buy seeds from seed companies. Whether you are a first-time or master gardener, seed enthusiast or expert seed saver, there really is something for everyone.
At Seedy Saturday PEC you can expect the seed swap table to be, in fact, several tables, each one heaving with a huge variety of seeds. Everything from heirloom tomatoes and unusual squashes, to perennial hollyhocks and annual marigolds, to cold-hardy natives like columbines and hyssop - you're sure to find something interesting for your garden!
Bring seeds to share with the community, or make a donation - and get ready for your 2026 growing season!
