FREE Native Plant Seeds, to propagate, from the Seed Library.  Douglas College also offers free plant courses and YouTube’s on Native Plants and Propagation.

 

Douglas College's Seed Library will begin sending out free seeds for PNW native plants this week that should be planted then left outside over the winter for the cold, wet stratification they need to germinate in spring or summer. You can email an order in for up to ten types of seeds.

 

It's a seed library- get some seeds from them, grow the plants, then collect seeds to return to them.
