From Seed to Harvest

The vegetable gardening group, called From Seed to Harvest, is a fun and friendly group with gardening experience ranging from newbie to seasoned pro.  We enjoy growing (and eating!) garden vegetables and helping each other do the same.

If you have an interest in growing vegetables, (even if you’ve never tried yet), We’d love to meet you - or see you again, and talk about growing some great food!

We meet about once per month from January through late fall.  Our meeting schedule and locations change based on the seasons, weather and other factors.  During the colder months we tend to meet at the church at Hazel Dell. We also meet at some of the individual members houses/gardens.

Because of the meeting time and place variability, we send out meeting announcements to interested members via an email list.  If you would like to learn about our upcoming meetings and other things that were doing, please send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots.
