Boulder County Regional Seed Swap
Boulder Meadows Public Library, 4800 Baseline Rd, Boulder, Boulder, CO, USPLEASE REGISTER HERE!
We hope you can join us! We’ll have a variety of seed including annuals, perennials, grasses, shrubs, and trees. We will also have information about how to grow native seed, as well as info about plants which support pollinators and birds. You don't need to bring seed to attend the event or bring home seed.
If you do have native seed to share, please label each species with this information:
* Botanical Name
*Common Name
*Collection City or County, Elevation, and Year
Your First Initial and Last Name If your seed is from a wild population rather than a garden site, add “WILD”
We happily accept seed from species native to Colorado and adjacent states. Please avoid cultivars, which might not support native pollinators and wildlife. We do NOT accept seeds from plants designated as noxious weeds.
You can drop off seed before the event in Boulder.
Email kristinekjohnson@icloud.com to coordinate. If you plan to bring seed the day of the event, please email the species name(s) to kristinekjohnson@icloud.com ahead of time so that we can prepare information for attendees about your seed.2 attendees

OUR MISSION & VISION:
People and Pollinators Action Network (PPAN) works across Colorado to promote sustainable land management practices, safeguard public health and preserve biodiversity to make our state a safe haven for all who live here—from pollinators to people. We are the only organization working at the grassroots, municipal, and state levels to advocate for policies and practices that reduce and eliminate the use of pesticides and to create and connect swaths of pollinator-safe habitat with the intent of reversing the (drastic) decline of pollinator populations—upon which our very existence depends.
Message us on MeetUp or email info@peopleandpollinators.org to receive the zoom!1 attendee
