Join us to learn about native plant gardening and receive free native seeds!
About the events
Each fall, the Ottawa Wildflower Seed Library hosts a series of native seed giveaways at locations across Ottawa. No donation required to get FREE seeds! Each seed packet has enough seeds for a minimum of 3-5 plants. Browse the seed catalogue before the event to see what is available; it is updated the Friday before each event, as well as the Sunday after an event.
Instructions for winter sowing are available on our website. We also have tutorials on how to harvest and winter sow seeds on our YouTube channel.
We ask donors to bring their seeds to our seed packing events as much as possible. Otherwise, we will accept them at our seed giveaways.
Accommodation
Please feel free to reach out if you require accommodation to attend our events.
