Join the seed-saving movement with our first annual Seed Circle Project. This year's seed choice is Radiator Charlie’s Mortgage Lifter Tomato. We will highlight this heirloom tomato and show you how to save seeds at the end of the season, so you can return dried seeds to local seed libraries or your local extension office.
Free seeds or plants will be available and the only thing that we ask is that you pass along seeds to friends, neighbors, and donate what you can back to seed libraries across Allegany and Garrett County. 🍅 Seeds will be available while supplies last in Allegany and Garrett Counties, but anyone can come to learn about tomatoes! Locations for picking up free seeds for this project will be announced in March!
A Virtual Tomato Basics Gardening Class will kick off our seed saving year on, February 23rd at 12:30pm!

For many gardeners, few winter pleasures rival the joy of leafing through seed catalogs, imagining the colors, scents, and harvests to come. That sense of anticipation will be in full bloom at this year’s annual Seed Swap, where community members are invited to browse, share, and take home seeds for the upcoming growing season.
From unique varieties of herbs to beloved annual flowers and coveted, prize-winning tomatoes, the event will offer a generous selection of seed packets. Attendees don’t need to bring seeds to participate, but those with extra or leftover packets are encouraged to contribute. Organizers ask that all donated seeds be clearly labeled so fellow gardeners know exactly what they’re receiving.
The Seed Swap provides both novice and seasoned growers an opportunity to expand their gardens and enhance their landscapes at no cost. Seeds will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, making early arrival a smart strategy for those looking for specific varieties.
Whether you’re planning your first container garden or dreaming of a full backyard harvest, the Seed Swap invites everyone to share in the excitement and promise of a new growing season. This program is sponsored by the Queen Anne’s County Master Gardeners volunteers and our generous sponsors.
