In this class, we’ll work together to start vegetables, flowers, and herbs from seed. By pooling our resources we can check this task off of our garden chore list, rather than waiting too long and, yet again, buying plant starts from the nursery. By starting plants from seed we have access to more varieties than are usually readily available.

Please bring any seeds you have to share and any small containers to start seeds in. If you have any shadow plant trays to bring home your starts, please bring them. We’ll have some supplies on hand as well.

Our sliding scale for classes helps to reduce barriers for participation while retaining sufficient income for Seattle REconomy, which owns and operates the NE Seattle and Shoreline tool libraries. Please choose the level that best fits your family’s income.
