Seed Cleaning for Native Seed Swap  - 222 Laporte Ave

Friday, 06 November 2026 @ 09:00 AM to 12:00 PM

Social Gardening  -  16 +

Cleaning native seeds is a great way to give back, hang out with others in the community who love native plants and gardening and learn more about local botany in a relaxing setting. Volunteers will work on seeds collected in Northern Colorado by volunteers this summer. The seeds have dried in our office and we need your help to prepare them for our annual NoCo Native Seed Swap on November 16th, a free event to give away and trade native seeds within the community at Gardens on Spring Creek. Seed cleaning is an essential activity for our native seed sharing program, as native seeds are hard to purchase commercially. By cleaning seeds for the community, you help to ensure that more native plants are used in local gardens and small restoration projects, supporting local wildlife, reducing water and pesticide use and connecting our communities. We will meet in the lobby of Fort Collins Utilities (222 Laporte Ave). This is a locked building on the upper floors where we will be working so please try to be on time. There is free parking on the block surrounding City Hall (Meldrum, Howes, Maple St)
