Many thanks to everyone who has shared their garden photos with us. They are stunning! Check out the Seed Library page as photos are updated regularly.
Now is the time to think about saving seeds from your open-pollinated (not hybrid) healthiest plants. Saving and sharing seeds will allow you and your neighbors to grow plants that are ideally suited to our climate year after year. To learn more about it, check out the many seed-saving resources on our Page.

Composting
Fall is a great time to tune up your soil! Plants take valuable nutrients from the soil as they grow. When you have a compost pile you'll be able to add nutrients back into your garden to support healthy plant growth.
