Native Seed Swap & Giveaway.

Drop by to learn about natives and pick out free seeds of your choice! You do not need to bring seeds to attend, but we encourage you to learn about native seed collection and seed labeling so that you can participate in the future.

Please only donate regionally native seed that has not been treated with neonicotinoids and is not classified as a noxious weed.

Join us for a meeting to socialize, clean some seeds, take in seed donations, and organize and label seeds for our December and winter seed swaps and propagation events.  Please do bring:  clean empty plastic containers to store seeds in (anything from old prescription bottles to peanut butter jars work); seeds from native plants which you have collected from your yard (if you need help removing fluff or seed hulls or knowing if the seed are viable, that's what this event is for!).    Don't feel like you can't come if you don't have seeds; we want this to be social, educational, and community building for our Boulder region. We had fun in October and we have more seeds, so we're going to ddo it again.  Feel free to bring tools for cleaning/harvesting seeds, such as:  a cookie sheet or two.  A salad spinner.  A hand lens/magnifying glass.  A colander.  A kitchen bowl.  Your copy of the Flora of Colorado or other reference material you think might be helpful.  Check out the video in the read more link.  Any questions (about tools, species, etc), please contact Kristine Johnson [email protected] or Kimberly Lehman [email protected] 

All members are welcome.  Please email us if you are interested in attending.

Please join us at the 3rd Annual Boulder Region Seed Share in Boulder at the Meadows Branch Library!  We are partnering with the Boulder Public Library to bring you this FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC event.

You do not need  to provide seeds to participate! 

However, if you would like to donate native seeds prior to the event (and we do need native seeds) please make sure you label them with the scientific name, common name, your first initial and last name, address/elevation where harvested and the month/year.  Seeds brought to the event will also require this information and will be inventoried for future seed sharing events.  For more information on donating seeds please email Kristine or Kim  at [email protected] or [email protected] 

This is a native (Colorado and regional) seed share; we are looking for seeds of plants native to Colorado and neighboring states. And please, no seeds treated with pesticides. 

Questions?  Contact Kim or Kristine at the addresses above.

All members are welcome.  Please email us if you are interested in attending.
