For 2021, our Horticulture Program will hold a series of seed and plant giveaways of collections of seeds and donated seedlings. We are prioritizing BIPOC community members, disabled or elderly folks, and low income families between 10-11:30am and everyone else is welcome after 11:30am.

We plan to have 3 giveaways:

Sat, March 27th for seeds that need to be started indoors
Sat, April 24th for seeds that can go right into the garden as spring days start to warm up, and some again in the fall (information on which seeds will be included)
Sat, May 29th for seeds that will only tolerate the warmth of summer along with donated seedlings

All are welcome, seeds and plants will be distributed on a first-come-first-served basis. CCE-Tompkins staff members and Master Gardeners will be on hand to answer questions (from an appropriate distance).

General and specific variety growing information will be provided for the specific varieties of seed we are distributing.

In addition, Cornell maintains a home vegetable growing guide with lots of great and simple tips about growing flowers and veggies. Find it at this link: Home Growing Guide.
