Wed 14 Feb, 4-7 pm. Southern Heritage Seed Collective, now in it’s 8th year will be dispersing seeds once again this February, for your spring and summer gardens.
Come gather from a wide selection of veggies, herbs and flowers. Many are locally grown seeds, right here in our county. All are known to perform well in north Florida.
Variety list and catalog will be posted later this week! Stay tuned.
Tomato and pepper seeds are available in limited packet quantities starting next week, for those that wish to start their own. We will be selling starter plants in March.
