In the march up to Earth Day tomorrow we wanted to put this out into our little gardening universe. You can thank us later.

You've heard the old adage - "You are what you eat!"

We'd argue, "You are what THEY eat!"

We celebrated World Food Day with another pop-up “Clip ‘n Go” Herb offering at our local food pantry.
We were able to share our final tomatoes and hot peppers along with lots of fresh herbs for our at-risk neighbors. Shoutout to @d

FREE Seeds!

Admit it, just thinking about gardening makes the grayness of these uncertain days a bit less gray.

We have a very extensive supply of herbs, vegetables and some flowers, mostly annuals.

“They tried to bury us.
They didn’t know we were seeds.”

— Mexican Proverb

Virtual Seed Swap

No better time than the present to try growing your own food!

This is intended to be a fun, low-key, no obligation way to kick-off the gardening season a bit early and get everyone thinking good garden thoughts! It’s also a way to help many of you cope and navigate through the uncertainty of this Stay at Home order we’ve all found ourselves under in recent days.

All we suggest in return for these FREE seeds is that you consider volunteering some time this season to help us maintain our community growing spaces OR simply consider sharing any excess garden yields with some of our local food pantry partners - Our Lady of Peace, Our Lady of Mount Carmel or West Suburban Community Pantry.

*NOTE: No Delivery Available but we will have a set location where you can pick-up your seeds once we’ve fulfilled your order - please leave contact information!

Please be as specific as you can be - Tomato is too broad - Black Cherry Tomato would be more helpful

We will only use this to reach out should we have any questions about your wish list. We will use this to contact you when your seeds are ready to be picked-up. We can notify you via email as well if you don't care to leave a number.

Blain's Farm and Fleet supporting our work!

A special thanks to Amanda Rasmason, Asst. Mgr., who has worked to support our new farm project this season. She recently stored away all of these seeds at the end of the selling season and passed them along for our upcoming growing season - can't thank you enough Amanda and Blain's!

Thousands of new seeds shared with us by Blain's Farm and Fleet (Romeoville)

We wanted to provide the links to some of our favorite gardening sites, if you should need any planting guides for any of the seeds you intend to plant this year.

A special shoutout to Whole Foods Market Willowbrook!

We want to acknowledge the tremendous support we've received from our local Whole Foods Market in Willowbrook.

Not only did they make a random donation of over a thousand assorted seed packets early in our first season, but they chose us as their Grand Opening Partner for the One Dime at a Time Grant for the Fourth Quarter of 2015.

As if that wasn’t special enough ^ WFM shared additional seeds with us at the end of the 2019 season as well as hundreds of organic starter plants in early summer - Their ongoing support has allowed us to grow not only countless new plants for our families but our project as a whole!

The seeds that Whole Foods provided were Botanical Interest and are superior quality seeds - many of which we've been able to share with visitors to the Patch.
