Community Programs

Free Community Seed Swap!
Join WRI on February 25th from 12-1:30pm and 5:00-6:30pm to swap seeds or just grab seeds! All are welcome!

It's time to start garden planning and getting your seeds growing! If you have seeds to share & trade - great! If you don't have seeds but are interested in gardening and getting seeds to get you started - come anyway! Let's kick off the spring season by gathering together!

Members of Wenatchee River Institute's E. Lorene Young Community Garden will be there to share about our garden & graciously provide seeds. Registration for the 2025 garden season will happen soon after the seed swap. If you are interested in having your own plot, come down to learn more!

You can stop by for a short while or set up a station and be there the whole time! Some seed envelopes and paper to make envelopes will be provided but if you can, please also bring your own containers for seeds.

Info on how to save seeds, which plants are easiest and hardest to save seed from, companion planting guides, and other helpful tips will be available. Get excited for Spring!

This event will take place inside the Red Barn. There is an accessible path and accessible bathrooms available.
