2. About the seeds and seedlings
Seeds are from Johnny's and plants are from Grow! Twin Cities. All seeds and plants are non-GMO and organic and heirloom varieties are available. Contact us if you have any questions about the seeds or seedlings.
You will be able to chose the varieties of seeds or seedlings you would like to plant. A full list of the varieties available can be found here.
3. What if I can't come on Saturday?
The best thing to do is to send someone to pick up your seeds and seedlings for you. You choose what varieties you want, so send your friend with a list!
If you cannot send anyone, you can pick up your seeds after April 16th at the Gardening Matters office at Sabathni Community Center (310 E. 38th St. #204B). We will not be able to store seedlings, so if you don't pick up on Saturday, you will only get seeds this time. But don't worry--most of the seedlings are being distributed in May (for a full list, click here)! Please let us know if you plan to pick up your seeds at our office.
For Northside Hub members only: There will be a second mini-distribution on Sunday, April 15th from 12:30-1:30 at St. Olaf Community Campus (2901 Emerson Ave N). If you can't come on Saturday, you can pick up your seeds and plants then!
4. Sign up for 2012 membership
