Home Gardeners pay $28 and receive 15 seed packets.

Home gardener memberships require attendance at one of the Seed Club seed-packing events. These packing sessions are a great opportunity to socialize with other gardeners and learn from your neighbors.

At these packing events, gardeners gather to help pack our home garden seed packets. The Seed Club provides the envelopes and measuring devices for members to pack hundreds of packets in an hour-long session. At the end, members take home 15 packets of their choice from the 2012 seed varieties we have available. Gardeners who need fewer seeds are encouraged to split the membership among friends or neighbors.

Home gardeners sign up on the Seed Club website in February in advance for the seed packing event you plan to attend. Go here to sign up: http://www.growportland.org/events?action=register&event_id=13
