Swap seeds, supplies, and other goodies!
Spring and gardening season is just around the corner! Join us at Innovation Station to swap seeds, supplies, and other garden goodies before we step into March. Feel free to bring crop seeds, flower seeds or bulbs, pots, fertilizer, trowels, pruners, fencing, trellises, and any other garden-related items that you no longer need! We will provide a selection of native seeds through the WNC Wildseed Library to kick things off, including species that have not been available through our distribution sites at the Macon County Public Library and Jackson County Public Library.
This event is free and open to the public. No registration is required, but is recommended so that you receive a reminder email the day before the event. We will be in the climate-controlled Railroad Patio at Innovation Station (40 Depot ST, Dillsboro, NC, United States, North Carolina) from 5:30pm-7:30pm on Tuesday, February 24th; feel free to stay, chat, and enjoy a beer for the whole event, or drop-in as your schedule allows.
Meet your organizer!
As Mainspring’s Conservation Outreach Director, Skye Cahoon inspires people to connect with their local landscape and value the conservation efforts that protect it. As a kid, she could often be found climbing trees, hunting for salamanders, or chasing fish at the swimming hole. Her passion for nature grew with her, and in 2020 she earned her Zoology B.S. from the University of Maine. Integrating her experience in wildlife research with her excitement about the natural world, Skye now strives to make science fun and accessible. She leads a variety of educational programs here at Mainspring, and enjoys continuing to learn about the diverse and fascinating creatures that call the Southern Appalachians home.
