2026 Discovery Fall Seed Exchange

Come celebrate the end of the growing season with a Seed Exchange in the Discovery Garden! Fall is a great time to learn how to save seed for spring. Watch a seed-saving demonstration—with tomatoes and more!—and get tips on caring for and storing seed over the winter. Gardeners will be on hand to answer any questions.

• We’ll have a selection of fall-friendly seeds to share, whether you are growing in a street tree bed, garden bed, community garden, or sunny windowsill in your apartment.
• Bring seeds to share! Bringing seeds is not required, but if you do, make sure they are labeled and no more than two years old to ensure maximum germination success.
• We’ll provide envelopes, small bags, and labels for the seeds you take home.

This is a drop-in program for gardeners of all ages, including families with children, teenagers, and adults. We can’t guarantee what kind or how many seeds will be available. Included with Garden admission.
