Harvest seeds from what you grow, and bring them back to become part of someone else’s garden!

Our seed collection:

Herbs!

Veggies!

CA natives!

More!

Our collection is a dynamic work in progress, shifting with the seasons, and even day to day. We accept donations from organizations and individuals — all seeds are welcome!

Everyone’s a gardener!

It’s a beautiful thing when plants and people coexist and thrive together. Becoming a gardener is a hands-on process of curiosity and discovery, experimentation and exploration, patience and persistence.

Grow. Observe. Learn. Repeat.
