Free and open to the public. All gifts are appreciated—they help the garden grow.

Event FAQ:

Got special local heirloom seeds you want to share?
We encourage you to bring your own local heirloom seeds to share with Mission Garden and with other gardeners.

What kinds of seeds should you share?
Mission Garden grows local heirlooms from seeds and cuttings of food crops that have been cultivated in this region for generations. We do this to preserve locally adapted legacy varieties, and share them with the community.
