California Native Plant and Seed Swap

The Neighborhood Habitat Certification Program will be holding its first free community California Native Plant Seed and Plant Swap on October 26, 10:30 a.m. – 1 p.m., at the Chico Branch Library (First Ave & Sheridan Ave).

Our native birds need native plants to live and reproduce, and here is a chance to get some free native plants to add to your gardens – just in time for planting season!

How this swap works is that you bring garden-sourced native plants and/or seeds that you have grown or collected to the swap, and leave with other plants or seeds that others have brought. Plants or seed that you bring must be cleaned and properly labelled with scientific name (to the best of your ability). For seed, please include the year collected plant. If you don't have seeds or plants to share come anyway because there will be plenty to share.

There will be an information table at the event to help you if you have questions during the event. If you have questions prior to swap date, please contact Deborah Halfpenny (bmVpZ2hib3Job29kaGFidGlhdCAhIGFhcyB8IGdtYWlsICEgY29t) or Jared Geiser (ZGlyZWN0b3IgfCBhbHRhY2FsICEgb3Jn).

Volunteers Are Needed! If you would like to volunteer and help out at the event, please contact us soon at the above email addresses. Volunteers get first choice on plants and seeds!
