Each year, awesome members of HAT and Native Plant Study Group donate seeds to us from local gardens and restoration sites. Thanks to some incredible volunteers, the seeds are organized, cleaned, and packed for us to sell by donation at Seedy Saturday events. This year, we were excited to attend both Victoria Seedy Saturday and Westshore Seedy Saturday. We had such a great time at these events connecting with the public and sharing the importance of native plants!

We have lots of seed packs left over, and they are available for purchase at our office. All proceeds from seed packs go towards supporting our stewardship programming!

  • Blue wildrye (Elymus glaucus)

  • California aster (Symphyotrichum chilense)

  • Camas (Camassia leichtlinii/quamash)

  • Canada goldenrod (Solidago lepida)
