Sandy Seed Library News - October 2025

Happy October, Gardeners!

I have been diving into all-things garlic! But before I share with you what I have been gathering, I wanted to also touch base on cover crops. Now is the time to get those seeds planted and we have a couple of seed packets dedicated to it in our seed library. You will find Fava Beans and Kodiak Mustard Greens in the "C" drawer under "Cover Crops."

Clackamas Soil and Water Conservation District has opened up a special landscaping grant to City of Sandy residents!

Their Priorities: "We help people in Clackamas County solve land management problems on private property. This includes improving habitats for wildlife, controlling erosion, getting rid of harmful weeds, replacing failing septic systems, keeping forests healthy, and more."

"Habitats know no boundaries." By providing native plants in your yard you can support biodiversity and a healthy ecosystem.

These native plant kits are designed for City of Sandy residents with properties of three acres or less aiming to help enhance their yards with native plants.

Each kit will contain either 20 in-ground native plants or 5 native patio plantings, along with native pollinator seeds.
