“All About Seeds” Program for Farming & Gardening

Whether growing food or flowers, in a backyard garden or on acres of farmland, understanding the fundamentals of seed saving, harvesting, and sharing will lead you to be a successful grower. The process of saving seeds has been practiced for centuries, and the benefits are well known for agriculture biodiversity, food security, a healthy food supply, and of course, to connect with our cultural heritage.

Join the Sammamish Valley community, Tuesday evening, March 4, for a FREE program, presented by the Sammamish Valley Grange and hosted at 21 Acres in Woodinville. Come early at 6:00 p.m. and help us kick-off the 9th Annual Seed Swap located outside the 21 Acres Farm Market entrance. Bring seeds to share and be ready to swap.

The featured program “All About Seeds” for Farming and Gardening begins indoors at 7 p.m. and showcases presenters Rosy Smit, the Agriculture Program Coordinator with WSU Snohomish County Extension, and Ansley Roberts, 21 Acres Farm Manager. Topics to be covered include: choosing the best seeds, how to get started, best growing practices, and transplant tips. Learn how to grow your vegetables successfully and save some money, too! There will be time after the presentation for Q&A with your farm and gardening questions.

The program is free and open to all ages. Registration here on Eventbrite is encouraged, but not required. The program is presented by Sammamish Valley Grange and Sammamish Valley Alliance (SVA) with thanks to partner organization 21 Acres. 21 Acres is located at 13701 NE 171st St. Woodinville, WA 98072.
