The Gift of Seed

May 2, 2026 @ 2:00 pm 4:30 pm EDT

Growing Gardens & Cultures of Care Beyond Consumption

Join Fruition Seeds at the Sanctuary for Independent Media for a special seed gifting and exchange event. Receive an abundance of seeds to sow in your community as we cultivate gift culture together.

five packets of seeds for various flowers from Fruition Seeds are held spread out like deck of cards, with beige on brown text including event info found on this page.

All flourishing is mutual, as Robin Wall Kimmerer reminds us, and seeds brilliantly embody this generosity, creativity and care. Together, let’s practice receiving hundreds of varieties of regionally adapted seeds as gifts, cultivating gift culture as well as community, nourishing all generations to come! Come ready to reflect, connect and honor your gifts as well as we all learn to amplify the gifts of community together. Expect puppets! And lots of seeds! And to come alive as we explore living in ways both old and new. Bring a friend and your hunger to sow more fruitful futures for your family, friends, neighbors and strangers as we become good ancestors together 💛

If you’d love to bring seeds to gift Troy’s Seed Library, we love you and come 20 minutes early to add them to the cornucopia!

FAQ: 

Can I drop in for just part of the gathering? Think of this as a movie or theater experience: come a few minutes early, settle in & savor ‘til the end, it’s sooooo worth it! And if you have to arrive late, ohhhh you will be welcomed ~
