Join us to learn about native plant gardening and receive free native plants!

About the events

Each summer, the Ottawa Wildflower Seed Library hosts a series of native plant exchanges and giveaways at locations across Ottawa. No donation required to get FREE plants!

We ask that donors arrive between 12 pm and 1 pm so that our volunteers have time to evaluate your donations. Donors will be able to pick plants first. Instructions for donating plants are available on our Donate plants page.

Please be sure to bring your water, labels, containers, boxes, or bags to carry your plants.

Accommodation

Please feel free to reach out if you require accommodation to attend our events.
