Come for an informative tour of the county's only Community SEED Garden.
Learn about what we are saving seed from and how we do it. Learn how to check out seed and also how to bring seed in and how we care for the inventory. Find out about some of the interesting varieties being grown out for seed- such as the :
Chimayo Pepper- an ancient heirloom from the mountains of New Mexico.It’s sweet, complex, flavor makes this a great base for chili powder and enchilada sauce.
Painted Mountain Corn- a colorful Montana mountain corn for milling flour. Selected by Dave Christensen from a strain of Mandan Indian corn for earliness and cold-hardiness - the ultimate survival food. Also good for short seasons with low temperatures- like West Sonoma County.
Nutri Bud Broccoli-a wonderful open pollinated broccoli bred in Oregon by plant breeder, Dr. Alan Kapuler of Peace Seeds. This is the broccoli to grow for flavor. The sweetest, richest & possibly the most nutritious broccoli for spring & fall.

9:00 - 11:00 – Seed Library OPEN- drop in anytime between these hours to check out the hundreds of varieties of locally grown seeds!Pick up seeds for your late spring planting like beans, summer and winter squash, corn, lettuces and greens and lots of flowers!
