Seed Social

The 2026 SEED SOCIAL is almost here!

Come celebrate the gift of SEEDS & learn about WINTER SOWING with Dirty Gaia & the Morton Seed Library.

February 21, 3–5 pm, at the Morton Memorial Library, Rhinecliff

Join us to receive the gift of seeds, share your own seeds, and connect with neighbors and growers. While you might see a frozen tundra out your window, it's really the perfect time to gather and even start some seeds. Spring will be here before you know it! (Fingers crossed!).

And if you’re ready to get your hands in the dirt now, step up to our Winter Sowing Station, where we’ll show you how to make mini greenhouses out of recycled plastic jugs. All you need to do is plant some seeds in a clear jug, put it in a sunny outdoor spot outside, and let Mother Nature do the rest. This is a tried-and-true way to grow hardy seedlings that can be transplanted when the weather warms, or to grow delicious microgreens in the cold!

If you’ve got seeds to share, please bring them and tell us about them! If not, we’ll have plenty of seeds, soil, and supplies to offer.

Free & open to all. Just bring your enthusiasm, and if you have them (NOT required), some seeds to share, along with an empty, clean, transparent 1-gallon jug or two.  

Along with the Seed Social activities upstairs, there will be kids' art-making in the library basement, too! Join Art-A-Go-Go Creation Station for printmaking & sewing seed bags in the MML Makerspace! $5 donation.
