Fall is in the air and that means it’s SEED SWAP time! Whether you are new to gardening or are a seasoned native plant gardener, you’ll find something of interest at the Native Plant Seed Swap & Giveaway. We’ll have a variety of seeds including annuals, perennials, shrubs, trees and grasses ranging from easy-to-difficult to propagate. One plant can produce hundreds of seeds so there is always plenty to share.
Swaps rely on community participation—so please participate! It’s FUN!
Donate native seed
Harvest your Colorado native or regionally native seed and bring it to the swap—provide it to volunteers at check in to be stocked in display. Native plants evolved in the area along with the insects and other wildlife that rely on them. If in doubt, inquire whether you have native.
IMPORTANT: To ensure your harvest is added to the inventory available, package seeds in envelope by species, (jars are fine for larger quantities) and label as follows:
Latin Name, Common Name, Elevation & City or County Collected, Collection Year, and Your First Initial and Last Name.
Please collect responsibly. If source plants evidence disease or bug infestation, please do not share the seed. Also, take care not to share noxious weeds.
