Seed and Cutting Exchange 
Saturday, January 25, 2025 01:00pm
 

This free event provides an opportunity to share and receive both cuttings and seeds of native plants. Browse the diverse offerings, ranging from easy-to-grow to hard-tofind, and go home with cuttings and seeds of new native plants! We will provide coin envelopes for seeds but do bring containers in which to carry cuttings home.

If you have native plant material from your own garden to share, please bring some. Label it to make it easy to browse – some gardeners attach helpful hints about growing; others display photos of plants in bloom. You may find it convenient to use www.calscape.org for this – there is a link on each plant’s information page to make a printable sign for most native species and cultivars. If you bring cuttings, keep them cool and moist in a bucket of water. You don’t have to bring anything if you don’t have any native material to share – there is usually plenty for all.

Several popular books will be available for sale during the event, including Wildflowers of California from CNPS, Seed Propagation of Native California Plants (2021 ed.), by Dara E. Emery; and California Native Plants for the Garden by Carol Bornstein, David Fross and Bart O’Brien. Our Wildflower Ambassadors will be giving out free seed packets and information as well.
