Any good ideas for donating excess seed?

I've thought about sending it to Trudi at wintersown.org, but if there are organizations that any of you know of that are really in need, please let me know. I don't have huge amounts, but certainly more than I can use.

grampapa, You have mail.

Our school is putting in a flower garden and any extra seeds would be put to good use there. Let me know if you are interested, I can send a request on our school letterhead if you would like, I am the secretary there!

thanks, Rebecca. Terese turned me on to that one.

Grampapa,

Trudi's Wintersown program is a great one to donate your seeds to. I've sent Trudi surplus tomato seeds before and know they went to good use. There surely are other worthy programs as well.

This month, I completed the Purdue Master Gardeners course and was given a list of projects and "adopt-a-spot" type gardens to choose from to complete my volunteer hours as "payback" for the 46 hours of class time. The MG food garden sounded like a great place for me to dump out my surplus seeds and put in my volunteer time. They have a greenhouse to start flats of veggie seedlings ... then grow the veggies in a common garden and donate all the produce to the local food bank. Maybe your local Master Gardener program has something like that where your surplus seeds would be a real blessing.

I think many of us "donated" to Ted on that other thread.

But a local project is a good choice too ... i'll have to look into that for my "native" seeds.

Ted has all he needs. I have a couple of schools. MG program sounds like a good one to look into.

Check out your local FFA chapter also. Some of the FFA chapters have GH that they raise the plants in for the kids project and then they sell the plants in the spring.

good thought...thx
