Events

In our commitment to gather together as a community and share our passion for growing, sharing, and harvesting food, we host a number of annual events for the Pierce County community at large.  Please see the calendar to register and for more details. 

Seed Swap, Potluck, & Story Share

seed swap 18

Plants and people have a special relationship through time, and seeds symbolize the stories of that relationship.

At our Seed Swap, people bring seeds for the seed table and family dishes for the potluck. Then, we share stories and memories about seeds and/or plants that have been passed down in our families for generations.

This year our 2023 Seed Swap will be held on Sunday February 12th in Puyallup at the Pioneer Park Pavilion from 12 pm - 3 pm. 

If you plan on attending please take a moment to REGISTER FOR THE EVENT HERE. We'll be providing more details as the date approaches, so be on the lookout for additional information. We hope to see you there!
