We’re kicking off the gardening season with a good old-fashioned seed swap. Stop in to get the latest edition of Willi Galloway’s organic vegetable gardening book “Grow Cook Eat” and meet with other local writers and artists to talk gardening, swap seeds, and discover something new to grow.

• Fun swag bags for the first 50 people, plus a chance to win an awesome door prize, including merchandise from Filson, signed books from our authors, a spring garden seed kit from small local seed farms, and more. 
• Washington State Seed Library Network is hosting the seed swap. Find and try some new-to-you varieties of vegetables and flowers. If you have seeds to share, bring them.

• Artist Sarah Simon (the Mint Gardener and author of My Gardening Journal: A Weekly Tracker and Log Book) will be signing books and doing a live painting demo.
