Members Only Registration Required Free Event Chapter Social Home/Private Garden Tour Seed/Plant Share Free Public Parking

Join us to celebrate the end of the growing season with a potluck and garden tour in Eaton. This event is for Wild Ones Front Range chapter members and their guests. Our host has a property of 10 acres that includes a professionally designed 7' x 70' native plant border in part shade. With luck, the cottonwoods will still be leafed out and in color.

We will start with the potluck and social, where we can share successes from this growing season as well as plans for next year. Then our host will show us around her place. Feel free to bring native seeds and/or seedlings to share.

Note: The potluck will be held in a 100+ year old barn loft up a flight of stairs with handrails. A bathroom is available in the main house, which is a short walk from the barn.

Northern Colorado Native Seed Swap and Giveaway

to (Mountain Time)
Gardens on Spring Creek, 2145 Centre Ave, Fort Collins, 80526 Map

Public Welcome Family-Friendly Free Event Seed/Plant Share Wheelchair Accessible Public Restroom Free Public Parking Drinking Fountains

We hope you can join us! We’ll have a variety of seed including annuals, perennials,  grasses, shrubs, and trees. We will also have information about how to grow native seed. You don't need to bring seed to attend the event or bring home seed.

If you do have native seed to share, please label each species with this information:
* Botanical Name
* Common Name
* Collection City or County, Elevation, and Year 
* Your First Initial and Last Name
* If your seed is from a wild population rather than a garden site, add “WILD”

We happily accept seed from species native to Colorado and adjacent states. Please avoid cultivars, which might not support native pollinators and wildlife. We do NOT accept seeds from plants designated as noxious weeds.

You can drop off seed before the event in Fort Collins or Longmont. Email [email protected] to coordinate. If you plan to bring seed the day of the event, email the species name(s) to [email protected] ahead of time so that we can prepare information for attendees about your seed.

If you would like to volunteer to help the NoCO Native Plant Exchange Committee at the swap, go to this page and then select Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/native-plant-seed-cleaning-tickets-1671576262599?aff=oddtdtcreator&utm_source=email&utm_medium=sparkpost&utm_campaign=postpublish.
