that serves the El Paso county and southern Front Range area by providing vegetable, herb, and native seeds, seed saving skills, and pollinator education to growers and residents. The seed library offers free seeds and education on related topics like seed saving, the value of native species, and the role of pollinators in both the eco- and food- systems of the Front Range in south-central Colorad

o. The goal is that, for a portion of the seed given out, regional growers and gardeners will return a share of seeds from their own gardens and fields to share forward, increasing our regional food security and the diversity, resilience and beauty of our native ecosystems. The seed library welcomes partnerships, seed or in-kind donations, and is grateful to those who have shared and supported in the past.

Hey folks. The native demonstration planting at the Duckwood Community Garden (Fountain Creek Regional Park) is being decommissioned. Unfortunately, I just haven't been able to maintain it like it needs. There are quite a few native parts that need to be transplanted, if possible, including azure sage, canada goldenrod, a few perennial beebalm, and possibly one or two others. These are tough plants that will likely survive if they get a new home. I can meet you at the garden tomorrow or Thursday after 430pm or Friday in the morning. Comment here or message. There's also some nice rock available, see photos for all of it.

Raspberries have been rehomed. Ty all

Friends. I thinned my raspberries, none too gently to be sure, but this is hardy rootstock so some of these should survive. Free to a good home (or homes). They're in a watery bucket in my driveway. PM for the address, no other appointment needed.
