Free Seed Giveaway & Workshop Fair

Free the Seeds will return to FVCC on Saturday, March 2, 2024, for our ninth year of interactive workshops, activities, seed sharing and more. More than 1,500 people attended last year, we had 27 workshops, and 42 booths to explore! The theme for our 2024 event is “Tiny Seeds, Big Impact.”

Free the Seeds is powered by community and everyone has a role to play in making it happen. Please think about if you can teach a workshop, sponsor the event, donate seeds, volunteer, or become a Friend of Free The Seeds and support us with a monetary donation of $20 or more!

We are community powered!

If you grabbed 9 packets of seeds at our event, that would have cost you anywhere from $18 – $36 if you had purchased them at a store. To us, however, seeds are priceless.

We believe saving seeds is a radical act and LOVE sharing them with our community at no cost but, we can’t do it without you. Please remember to plant, grow, and then SAVE some seeds to donate back to us so we can get them cleaned, packaged, and back out into the community. Over half of the seeds given out this year were saved by our community members! We had so many amazing volunteers help us clean and pack them over 6+ months so they were ready for you to come pick up. Keep scrolling to find out how you can donate seeds.
