A seed swap is a meet up for gardeners and seed savers to share knowledge and seeds in preparation for the growing season. That this happens on a local level is specifically important for two reasons.Many of the varieties at the swap have already been proven to grow successfully in our area. Getting together for the swap also spreads knowledge about growing food and helps to strengthen the food security and sustainability of our community.

Community members are welcome to bring open pollinated seeds that are not licensed or patented to share. Bringing seeds is not required to participate in the event, though – anyone who would like to learn more about gardening in our area is welcome at the Seed Swap.

Volunteers get seeds! Sign up here -

The Queen City Seed Library is guided by the words of seed activist Sara McCamant, who has said “To make a stronger local food system, we need to continually work at bringing more local seed into that food system.” A seed library does just that!

Did you know there’s a free and accessible educational community garden in Marquette open to everyone? MQT Growth manages and maintains Graveraet’s school garden throughout the growing season- it is powered through the time and energy of volunteers.
Join us tonight for our first community workday to kick off the growing season. We have lots to do including planting a perennial flower garden along the outside border & planting vegetables etc.
