Community Seed Bank

Plant. Grow. Save. Share.

The Seed Bank Program provides free heirloom seeds to participants who commit to growing the plants, saving their seeds, and returning a portion to help sustain the program. Instead of a traditional class, participants enjoy exclusive access to growing guides, recipes, and expert support to enhance their gardening experience.

About the Program

 

The Seed Bank Program is a community-driven initiative designed to promote seed saving, food sustainability, and gardening accessibility.

 

Each year, we distribute a few select varieties of heirloom seeds for free.

​

In 2025, participants will receive

  1. Chijimisai (an Asian green)

  2. Bell peppers

  3. Basil 

​

This is not a class, but participants will gain access to an exclusive online resource page with detailed growing instructions, recipes, and a question form for direct support. In return, we ask growers to save seeds from their harvest and send some back to us, ensuring the program continues year after year.

​

By joining the Seed Bank Program, you’re not just growing food—you’re contributing to a sustainable cycle of seed sharing and community resilience.
