Seattle Tilth Spring Plant Sale Coming Soon PLUS New Educational Classes

March Edible Plant Sale

The Seattle Tilth’s March Edible Plant Sale is right around the corner and I’m getting totally excited about. It’s one sale this gardener will never miss! If you’ve never been, I recommend putting it on your calendar if you’re local.

You can stock-up on organic and locally grown edible plant starts perfect for spring planting, and find a huge selection of edible flowers, fruit shrubs, fruit trees, seeds, supplies and knowledge galore. It’s on Saturday, March 15th from 9am-3pm. at the Pacific Market Center garage. Plus, get this: admission is FREE!
