Open House & Seed Swap
March 1, 2025 @ 12:00 pm – 3:00 pm EST
Join us for our seasonal open house plus seed swap! This drop-in style event is an opportunity to look inside our organization, swap seeds, get a tour, and have a warm beverage with a Rockhill Bakehouse biscotti. Learn about our initiatives and how to get involved. For those curious about volunteering or interning at the Sanctuary, this is a great opportunity to ask questions and see our campus.
Join Collard City Growers for a seed swap to start building towards spring awakening and growth. Learn seed keeping methods from local gardeners, acquire seeds to grow, and bring your own seeds and stories to show and share. We’ll also be joined by Danielle Peláez, who will be tabling on behalf of Soul Fire in the City!
There’s no need to bring seeds or have any knowledge of seed-keeping or gardening to attend–you can also join for company and conversation!
Masks will be available at this event. If you are feeling unwell or have any symptoms of illness please stay home and rest.
