Seed Library Update

 Hello Gardeners!

This is the season of reaping what we sow. Such abundance!

Many of us get excited to plant our gardens in the spring.  Yet, you can still plant these right now: Arugula, Beets, Cilantro, Collard greens, Endive, Lettuce, Mustard Greens, Pak Choy, Radicchio, Radishes, Rutabaga, Sorrel and Spinach.  Some of these plants will overwinter in our area. 

Do you have a place for Wildflowers?   The Sandy Seed Library has been gifted with Pacific Northwest Wildflower Seeds from Sandy High School science teacher Josh Kanable.  Thank you, Josh!

If YOU have seeds to donate to our seed library, feel free to contact me. We have a donation form you can use (see attachment).

Remember, if you have a gardening question you can always Ask A Master Gardener.
