Seed Swap Social to Take Place Nov. 12

ALBANY — Wild Ones Capital Region NY announces that the second annual Seed Swap Social will take place 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 12 at Thacher State Park. 

The popular family friendly event showcases a seed swap that is focused on sharing native plants with the community. Meetings will be held at the Helderberg Room of the Visitor Center.

The Seed Swap Social will also include several activities to encourage community members to bring home biodiversity through the use of native plants. Kids will enjoy making customized seed bombs with native wildflowers and a craft station that uses native plant materials to make milkweed seed pod stars. 

New this year will be a bake sale with a twist. This fundraiser for Wild Ones Capital Region takes the tried and true bake sale but infuses ingredients from our own New York native plants. Try some favorite baked goods and learn about the native plants that elevate the recipe.

For gardeners interested in a new approach to gardening, Thacher Nature Center employees will be demonstrating how to winter sow your seeds from the swap.
