    Sprouts Growing Tomatoes

    May 24, 2022 /

    On April 28th the Sprouts volunteers transplanted 1000 tomato plants and placed them in the hoop houses. We put netting around them to keep the rabbits out. For the last three weeks the weather has been so cold that we have mostly kept the hoop houses covered. Now, as the weather turns warmer, we can uncover the hoop houses to give the tomatoes some welcome sun and warmth. We still do not know what day we will distribute the tomato plants. We are monitoring them and the weather.

    SGGN Sprouts – Learn about our greenhouses!

    April 1, 2014 /

    Each February, community volunteers refresh their seed-sowing skills and begin planting lettuces, kales, beans, tomatoes, peppers, and other vegetable varieties that grow well in Seattle. As successions of seeds are sown in the greenhouses, winter blankets of burlap and leaves are removed from Giving Gardens in the city’s P-Patches. Starts continue to leave the greenhouse through late May and are distributed to waiting Giving Gardens across Seattle. The seedlings help extend the growing season and increase harvests, allowing more produce to be donated to food banks, shelters, and meal programs. Vegetable varieties are tailored to food bank requests and ensure that different cultural communities receive familiar and favorite foods. We…

Our Mission is to support the growing of organic fresh local produce by Seattle Gardeners for the purpose of provisioning Seattle food banks, street kitchens and other food pantries. We operate from a perspective of abundance in order to provide resources to the gardeners who donate their produce. These resources include seeds, plant starts, network opportunities and funding.
