Santiam Food Alliance

The Santiam Food Alliance’s annual seed swap and gardeners’ gathering will take place this year on February 17 at 6:00 p.m. at the Lebanon Public Library.

This event is free and open to all. Bring seeds to share, if you have some. Tubers and other roots are welcome, too, provided they are wrapped or clean. Be sure to bring envelopes and a pen so you can collect seeds shared by other gardeners.

This year’s Seedy Tuesday will open with a presentation by Linda Ziedrich on unusual vegetables and how to grow and use them, based on her book The Curious Kitchen Gardener, which was published by Timber Press last spring. Seeds will be available for most or all of the varieties she discusses. The event will also include a Master Gardeners’ advice table and an information table staffed by the Lebanon Garden Club.

Seedy Tuesday is a project of the Santiam Food Alliance, with co-sponsorship by the Lebanon Public Library, the Lebanon Garden Club, and Linn County Master Gardeners.

On February 25, the Santiam Food Alliance will hold Seedy Tuesday at the Lebanon Public Library. This free program and gardeners’ networking event will begin at 6:30 p.m. The program will open with a presentation by Betty Goergen, Master Gardener, on gardening in a changing climate.

The seed swap will begin about 7:00. Everyone with seeds or other plant materials to share will lay them out on tables. Vegetable seeds will be the main emphasis, but gardeners are welcome to bring flower seeds and other kinds, and even well-wrapped tubers and growing plants. The seeds don’t have to be homegrown; they can be extras from commercial packets. All seeds should be identified by species and variety and the year of harvest, if possible.

Novice gardeners and others with no seeds to share are welcome to come and collect seeds anyway. Anyone planning to take home seeds should bring envelopes, tape, and a pen for labeling the envelopes.

During the swap, Oregon State University (OSU) Extension Master Gardeners and members of the Lebanon Garden Club will be on hand to answer questions about planting and saving seeds and other gardening matters. There will be a swap table for seed and plant catalogs as well.

Cosponsoring Seedy Tuesday with the Santiam Food Alliance are the Lebanon Garden Club, OSU Extension Master Gardeners, and the Lebanon Public Library.
