Farmers To You will host a seed share and plant swap on Wednesday, June 5, and Thursday, June 6, at their regular weekly pickup sites in celebration of National Gardening Week.
Join these festive gatherings to get to learn about growing food in your own backyard or in pots on your front step.
Seeds from High Mowing Seed Company will be provided to all who attend, and participants are encouraged to dig up plants from their home garden and bring them to the event to swap.
The Somerville pickup site is at The Armory, 191 Highland Ave.
“Local, seasonal food is always the best – flavorful and fresh. And one of the best ways to enjoy eating local food is to grow something yourself. Start with a window box of your favorite herbs or a few tomato plants, or come to one of our plant swaps and see what looks good to add to your garden,” says Christine Alaimo, Community Engagement and Events Manager for Farmers To You.
