Get Ready for Distribution

• Sign up to volunteer with us at any Seed + Transplant Distribution - Recent extreme weather has significantly reduced volunteer opportunities, and your help will make a big difference as we prepare thousands of plants for distribution.

• Review your seed and transplant options: Family Gardens | Community, School & Market Gardens.

• Set aside a box or two to collect your seeds and transplants.

• If you can't attend, a friend or family member can pick up on your behalf—just have them provide the primary gardener’s name at check in.
