Native Seed Exchange
Share and discover native plant seeds at this community seed exchange at Nell's Woodland. Participants are encouraged to bring native seeds to share, but it is not required. A variety of locally collected native seeds will be available for everyone to take home. Learn about native plants that thrive in our region, connect with fellow plant enthusiasts, and leave with seeds to grow in your own landscape.
This program is part of the Native Plant Learning Series, which offers opportunities to learn about native plants through hands-on workshops, seed exchanges, and guided outdoor experiences. Participants will explore topics ranging from seed starting and garden preparation to plant identification and ecological benefits.
