National Seed Swap Day at the Empire Market

Join us for our annual seed swap event! This year, we will have seeds to give away, information on gardening and plants, and will showcase some of the ways the community garden is working to make gardening accessible to everyone! You are welcome to bring seeds, but do not have to bring any in order to participate. We will have natives, pollinators, herbs, veggies, and fruits.

We have also invited special guests, including the Chert Glades Master Naturalists (who have soooo many native seeds for you) and the Ozark Gateway Master Gardeners, to help answer your gardening and plant questions. Expect other special guests, as well–keep watching our page for updates!

After, be sure to shop with our farmers and artisans. Pick up a fresh pour over from Cottage Small Coffee Roasters and wander the market halls! Grab lunch in the cafe area and listen to local live music!
