Planning a garden this spring? Learn the ins and outs of seed selection and how to set yourself up for seed starting success.
About this Event

Come learn all about seed starting with 21 Acres Farm Manager Ansley Roberts, who will share the ins and outs of seed selection, how to set yourself up for seed starting success, and how our seeding and planting practices at 21 Acres fit into our wider agroecological practices. You'll also get to apply your new knowledge with some hands-on experience in our greenhouse by planting a seed to take home.

Join us for an informative stroll around the 21 Acres farm and natural spaces to explore how agroecology, soil health and land stewardship can build resilient local food economies and support direct climate action. You'll visit our organic fields, wetlands, solar-powered projects, and much more as we uncover what farming looks like in the Sammamish Valley Agricultural Production District. Farming has never been more essential to our local and global communities.

Bring your questions! This interactive hour will be held in person on the 21 Acres campus. Meet us in the lobby on the second floor 10-15 minutes before the start of the tour. Details for the tour will be provided via Eventbrite after registration.

Need seeds for your garden? Be sure to stop by the 9th Annual Sammamish Valley Seed Swap on the 21 Acres Farm Market patio during March and April!

Want to get your hands dirty and learn more? Register for an upcoming Volunteer Farm Steward event later this spring and work with 21 Acres staff on a variety of seasonal farm and restoration projects that build soil health and maintain the farm during the growing season.

Note: The Farm Tour is not ADA Accessible. Dress for the weather; the paths will likely be muddy, so appropriate footwear is recommended. Space is limited for this free event; be sure to sign up via Eventbrite.
